“It was a treat to see this collection. I would encourage POV/PBS to periodically make new packages available as it is so difficult to find opportunities to see short works. Well chosen and thanks!”

Six Weeks
“Six Weeks just about broke my heart.”
— Gildedarmor12
“This film should be shown in the USA during sex education classes in high schools. Its subject matter teaches history, biology, economics, sociology and psychology. A compelling film that makes us think long after the “short film” is completed.”
— Jane Lockett
“I felt so sad for the babies, they seemed to me all alone, wanting to be held and comforted. The babies crying in the background; I kept wondering why they were crying so much. I wished I could’ve reached in the screen to comfort and sooth them, and the mom.”
— Patricia
“Loved this short film. I am an adoptive mom and cried for the birth mom. I wanted to hug her and tell her thank you for making the hard decision that she did.”
— Lynn_monks
