Lion in the House, A

Aroview: This powerful, heart-wrenching testimonial clocks in at almost four miraculous hours, chronicling the cancer treatment of five Cincinnati children across six hopeful years.

Invested in the personal and medical journey of its young, courageous subjects, the documentary's grueling realities are sobering, often tragic, but never overwhelmingly so; the human resilience a moving and uplifting spirit through which the film carries itself proudly.
