Why watch this film?
"Rooting for Roona" is the typical example of how short films can also move with the same force and power as a feature-length film. Here, directors Pavitra Chalam and Akshay Shankar tell the story of a baby born with a genetic disorder that causes her head to be much larger than what doctors consider to be normal. In this short, we follow the journey of family members who fight against all the adversities of this condition, while trying to find medical solutions for Roona's health. It's moving, it's inspiring, and it definitely makes the viewer shed tears.
