BOWEN'S HEART offers a deeply vulnerable view of how chronic illness impacts an entire family. This feature length documentary film follows, (a then eight-year-old Bowen), through his third major open-heart surgery as his parents struggle with the hope that the surgery could make his life better and the knowledge that it could make things much worse.
