Feels Like Home

Film

Synopsis

“Feels Like Home” is a short film produced by the iDeas Lab of the Berman Institute of Bioethics, in close partnership with Dr. Rebecca Seltzer. The film draws entirely from footage sourced from these families, detailing moments throughout their homes – from physically navigating through the house, to birthday celebrations – to capture both the challenges of daily life and families’ ingenuity in addressing those challenges. We are grateful to the families who opened up their lives to us, you can learn more about them in the stories page.
