The Girl with One Eyelash
DOCUMENTARY
A father faces his biggest fear - of losing a child - when his daughter is diagnosed with a deadly illness that will impact her for the rest of her life. The documentary follows Hayley’s journey, a young girl diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma - a soft tissue tumour - and her relationship with her father, Andrew. “The Girl with the One Eyelash” explores the challenges Hayley has been forced to overcome and is yet to face, for the rest of her life.
