Lion in the House – NEW Videos Below!!
A Lion in the House, a film about the lives of five American families who each have a child battling cancer, debuted to fantastic acclaim at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and went on to be broadcast to millions by PBS in that same year. In 2007, this film won an Emmy Award for Exceptional Merit in Non-Fiction Filmmaking.
With major support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, and SuperSibs! – filmmakers, Steven Bognar and Julia have responded to the interest from health care providers and educators to have shorter clips available for classroom and in-service education, awareness and trainings to promote greater understanding of the challenges facing pediatric patients, their siblings and their families.
Each targeted educational module comes with unique learning objectives, discussion questions and take-home points.
