Synopsis
What would you do to save your child? A young teenager struggles with a debilitating mental illness as his mother risks everything to save him without losing the rest of her family.
No Letting Go is a dramatic, independent feature film adapted from the award-winning short film, ILLNESS, and based on the real-life story of producer and co-writer Randi Silverman and her family. The film is a heartfelt look at one family’s journey to understand and to cope with the erratic behavior and emotional instability of their middle son.
"Its message of not letting go, never giving up, is one we all need to hear and see." — Dr. Lloyd Sederer, Huffington Post
