Award-Winning Short Film | Blessing | True Story of Tragedy and a Family’s Fight for Justice
The documentary sheds light on the heartbreaking and controversial death of 18-month-old Blessing, a toddler whose life was cut short while in the care of her father. Initially reported as a case of Sudden Unexplained Death (SUD), the truth unraveled when the coroner's report revealed the devastating presence of fentanyl in her system. The film courageously follows the emotional journey of Blessing's mother and grandfather, who have been tirelessly seeking answers and accountability in the face of silence and injustice. Despite the clear evidence, no charges have been filed, and those responsible remain free. Their voices, filled with grief and determination, drive the heart of the documentary. Blessing is not just a film—it’s a cry for justice, a call to awareness, and a raw, unfiltered reminder of the innocent lives lost to the opioid crisis. With its powerful storytelling and emotional depth, Blessing stands as a testament to the urgency of truth, accountability, and the healing power of filmmaking.
