SHADOW CHILD, a half-hour family documentary film, honors the power of one woman who, without help, money, or infrastructure, chose to change the future for thousands of the more than one-hundred-million orphan and refugee children around the world. Invigorated by her faith, like Mother Teresa, Norma Nashed, a Palestinian Arab woman, overcame a childhood of extreme poverty and, as a true hero of our culture, acted to house, feed, clothe, educate, and provide medical care for desperate children. As a testament to the integrity of her work, Charity Navigator recently rated Restore A Child, the international charity she founded, with a score of 100/100, a score fewer than 1% of charities receive. SHADOW CHILD makes use of animation, poetry, personal stories, and interviews to provide potent and educational viewing for the entire family.
