With legal battles surrounding severely ill infants Charlie Gard and Isaiah Haastrup making headlines, this documentary follows families of children on life-support at Southampton Children’s Hospital, as well as the doctors who care for them.

Filmed over a year, this two-parter shows the dilemma some parents face with children being kept alive who may never be cured.

While some cling to any hope that their little one may recover, others make the unenviable decision to end their child’s suffering.

This intimate, sensitive and heart-breaking account also gets behind the taboo subject of whether it’s ever right to let a baby die.
