of her husband. This short film tells the story of a heartbroken mother facing denialism as she

struggles with the death of a child she never had a chance to love.

 

Centered on the theme of neonatal death and inspired by a true life story, Something About Zee

creates awareness around neonatal death and the pain mothers (who have experienced this) go

through.
