Your baby is damaged. Your husband wants silence. What's a mother to do?
This docudrama highlights the complexities of compensation through the legal system for medical malpractice. For when the mother attempts to investigate the hospital procedure of using forceps to deliver her now retarded child, her husband frowns upon this and would rather ignore the whole thing.
Acting
Raw desperation that predates the prestige drama era.
Writing
Legal procedure as emotional warfare, surprisingly effective.
Director
Bill Bennett
