Unconditional
2018, 30 minutes
A teenage boy must find the strength to face the gravity of his mother's illness, despite fear, doubt, and an overbearing father.
I’ve seen a lot of films talk about death, but I’ve seen very few that are completely honest about it, and I’ve never seen it on-screen the way I’ve seen it in real life. We have such a rare opportunity here to tell a story that has the power to touch everyone, because it is about something that affects us all. Like it or not, whether we want to talk about it or not, we are all afraid of death. And we are often even more afraid that it will come for the ones we love than for us. We're afraid of suffering. We don’t want our parents, children, brothers and sisters to suffer. And we all would fight tooth and nail to protect them. UNCONDITIONAL is a story about that fight, about that fear, about that impending grief. We believe that this story needs to be told, but in order to do so, we need your help. If this sounds like something that hits close to home for you, please consider helping us tell the world about it. — David Traub, December 2017
