Dickless Zombies
Jess and Ryan Ronne are a blended family with 8 children, including Lucas, who has profound disabilities requiring total care. Their situation has become more challenging as Lucas gets older and stronger. With limited resources and support, care giving takes a toll on their physical and mental health. It's a common story among parent caregivers: the isolation, uncertainty about the future, lack of options, and a never-ending daily to-do list means the role of caregiver overpowers nearly every other facet of life. Video diaries from diverse caregivers featured in the film illustrate this universality, while interviews with mental health experts and policy/legal advocates provide a broader view on the societal impacts. Through the power of unfiltered, compelling human stories, Unseen cultivates compassion and tangible support for the caregivers in our communities. Why is this film needed? An estimated 16.8 million people in America are caring for a child with disabilities or complex medical needs. The demands of daily life and chronic stress can negatively affect the mental and physical well being of parent caregivers. With few who understand their situation and limited accommodations, caregivers often feel alone in their struggle. The Unseen documentary takes a raw, honest look at the parent care giving experience. If caregivers are ever going to get the support and resources they deserve, they first have to be seen and heard. The Unseen documentary puts faces and stories to this issue to enable change for millions of caregivers and their families.
