Now Available: A New Video on
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

The Listening Heart
The Listening Heart is a new educational documentary that chronicles the day to day challenges of children, parents, and families who struggle with the consequences of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The Listening Heart offers a unique look into the world of FAS through the eyes of medical experts, adoptive parents, and those directly affected by the disorder - the children. Over a production period of eight months, filmmaker and crew were able to gain access into a world previously unseen and misunderstood by the general public. By working hand in hand with families and experts, The Listening Heart has become the only FAS film that combines parents' insight backed up with scientific information about prenatal alcohol exposure and its devastating effects on intellectual and behavioral development. The film can be purchased individually or in the special edition, a double DVD set which includes a scripted PowerPoint presentation and learning guide for training and dissemination of the latest information on FAS, children, and families.
