A Life Without Pain Directed by Melody Gilbert, 2005

Do you think a pain-free life sounds great? Think again. “A Life Without Pain” is an exploration into the day-to-day lives of three children who literally feel no pain. Three-year-old Gabby from Minnesota, 7-year-old Miriam from Norway, and 10-year-old Jamilah from Germany have a genetic defect so rare that it is shared by only a few hundred people in the world. As filmmaker Melody Gilbert follows these families coping with this enormous challenge, we learn that pain is really a gift that no one wants, but none of us can do without. “See this movie. It will change your life.” – eFilmCritic.com
