This story touches the heart I am a follower of anything Maria and her whanau and Braxton share with us. Kia a kaha e te whanau.I wish you the best for Braxtons future. Love Ariana Martin
Kia ora Maria Congratulations on your Documentary . I grew up in a community where there were some whanau members that were also like Braxton born with club feet . In our eyes they were just the cuzzy bro or Uncleaunty so n so. To bring awareness to it is awesome and I guess very long overdue. 55yrs old I had to find out the how why whereto from you. Thankyou for that. This'll certainly help many sufferers from being made fun of.Goodluck.
Great short film. My 1 year old was also born with bilateral clubfoot so we understand the journey as well as the lack of education around clubfoot.
