About this Short Film
Would you sell your house to save your mother? (Christine Jeyachandran, Peru, 2021) This short film, screened as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, takes its cue from a haunting title to prompt reflection on care, choice and cost. While we do not assume plot details, the work raises themes of medical need, physical disability and family responsibility, touching on adults, group dynamics, operations and Parkinsons as listed. It is a quiet, thought-provoking contribution to a programme that highlights the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Expect a film that asks difficult questions and leaves space for your own response.

Tried to write something but have no words to describe mother .
This portrays humanity and love that is genuine.
Excellent work by Christine in raising awareness about this disease and the challenges the patient and their families face.
Christina honoured her mother by following and keeping one of the ten commandments.
Inspiring and Impactful Love is a verb.
Well done Christine
Excellent work of her daughter. She shows compassion and love for her mother. Credit goes to the mother herself while rearing her. She has learnt from her mother herself. It's a rare example

Christina did a wonderful thing I wish she become a roll model for many. Many do not care for their aged parents even though they have plenty of wealth. May the Lord bless Christina

Very naturalwithout exaggeration down to earth informative film
Very moving Hope we find a cure for Parkinson soon. Instead of spending trillions of dollars on war machinery we should work on finding cure for Parkinson AIDS Cancer etc.
Rosita is not like many people of this world but allowing God to change the way she thinks. She knows how to do everything that is good and pleasing to God.Romans 122 CEV. In serving her mother's needs she realizes the value of mothers. Parkinson's is debilitating and without medical intervention life is severely restricted and causes an intense emotional with a mental impact that isolates the person. Thanks for highlighting the need in some little published countries.
A true story of love compassion and sacrifice an example to emulate of Honouring your father and mother a story that will inspire many to pray for and support those suffering from Parkinsons disease.
Very enlightening thank you.
Well done a brave step to save the mother and I support this because as scriptures says nothing is greater then LOVE... It is God's love that saved us from the bondage of sins and saitan...All Praise and Glory to God for giving some comfort for this sister...
The world needs to see this powerful story. Wish this film will get recognized and that many more will benefit from this very open and honest effort.
A close knit family's to put the Mother above all their personal need which is selling their prized possession 'The House' is very touching and moving. Very appealing film.
Truly touched.
Thankyou everyone for your votes. I know I have to a wonderful community supporting me. My friends like Ana Mara Sabela Lizzie Esme Larry. David and my kids too have put in hours of help checking and rechecking. It takes a community to make a documentary. And thanks to the family for inspiring so many. I have a longer version of their story at Christine Jeya on YouTube. We hope this video shows the need for a cure and better treatment for all.
Inspirational.
Wonderful Christine So good
A video which depicts reality of life.It was a very moving video about the effect of the disease. More so about the sacrifice of the family to give the life back to the mother who gave them life in the first place and made so many sacrifices to bring them up.The video is about celebration of life rather than gloomy helpless one It is about victory over one of the most debilitating diseases in life.
Well done. If the problem can be solved by money its not a problem its the costs. - Jewish proverb. I would do the same.
Ta Doris t vas a ganar
Muy lindo y espero que esto llegue a muchas personas para que sepan su historia
