Congenital heart disease (CHD) is perhaps the furthest from the mind of any expectant parent. Imagine parents suddenly and without warning cast into a world of confusing realities when they realize their child is born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). On the other hand, depict families understanding a congenital heart anomaly and how they could gain additional knowledge prior to or during the care for their newborn from other family experiences and insights from medical professionals. Imagine how the awareness regarding CHDs in children could impact federal funding in the research of CHD. This documentary pilot episode highlights some of the chapters for the feature-length program of "Silent Cries", a program currently in development that seeks funding to fully produce and make aware the leading cause of neonatal and infant death in America.
