In My Hands is a documentary created by filmmakers Brenda Siemer Scheider and Emma Morris, and produced by Tony Award winning dancer and choreographer, Ann Reinking. Ann’s story is that of her 17 year old son, Christopher, who has Marfan syndrome, a life-threatening disorder of the connective tissue. A child’s body becomes really long and tall. Undiagnosed aortic aneurisms become a fatal threat. By following the stories of several families, the film weaves equally the complex threads of learning to live with Marfan syndrome and all those affected by it. We see the despair and loneliness of trying to “fit in” against what is deemed normal. And we are moved by the hope and inspiration in finding a unique beauty within oneself.
