Director: Rebecca Thomson

Sally is a clown, Amanda is a nurse, and they are fierce friends bound together by the most awful shared experience – caring for a child who is very sick. For Sally and Amanda having someone else who understands what it is to reside in perpetual grief, battle against bureaucracy and having to pre-pay your child’s funeral, makes the experience less lonely.

Realising the value of this connection Sally and Amanda, start a podcast where they share their beautiful friendship with the world – honest and raw conversations about the daily struggles of being a carer, plentiful gin sampling and finding a laugh in the face of darkness.
