Week 5, and last but by no means least, the final film in our series! Bright Stars Shining a Light is a video about living with someone with Smith-Magenis syndrome, and in this film we asked a number of different families the following questions:
- What do they like to do for fun?
- Describe your child in three words
- What is your child’s favourite TV show?
This touching film reveals a small insight into family life with SMS. It’ll make you laugh and bring a tear to your eye in equal measure to see how each family describes the challenges and fun of living with someone with SMS. There is certainly a very repeating theme in the light-hearted choice of “three” words each family uses to describe their child!
