We set out on our mission in 2011 to produce a film that would bring global awareness of this horrific disease.  Our aim was to remove "the masks" that exist with Huntington's disease, and tackle subject matter, which has never been attempted before.  In 2016, our goal is to release this film to our HD/JHD peers, medical professionals, HD organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and the general public.
