"Life
for a Child" directors statement
by Directed by Ed Lachman
All
films are journeys, but
this film took me to Nepal to film three stories about juvenile
diabetes. The
lives of the families dealing with this problem are extremely
challenging, but
to be impoverished and living in a developing country with this disease
is even
more daunting.
Diabetes
is emerging as one
of the most serious health problems of our time; a global epidemic with
devastating human, social and economic consequences. An alarming fact
is that
the disease claims as many lives per year as HIV/AIDS.
While
making this film I
realized that diabetes touches everyone—either through family
or someone we
know. I was humbled by these families’ and
children’s great strength and
courage in overcoming their obstacles in dealing with diabetes.
