'To the Edge of The Sky'
(DVD / NR / (2017) 2019 / MVD Visual)

Overview: How far would a mother go to save her child?

'To the Edge of the Sky' is about four moms whose sons are diagnosed with the degenerative Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a fatal disease that's the No. 1 genetic killer of boys, as they fight the FDA to gain access to a potentially life-saving drug.

DVD Verdict: Todd Wider and Jedd Wider are the producers of Oscar and Emmy-winning films and this rather poignant, often times brutally, and perhaps, too honest, 'To the Edge of the Sky.'

As noted above, it's a riveting documentary about parents fighting to stop Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy before it kills their sons. New drugs are on the horizon to treat this deadly disease, but they are stalled at the FDA.

With access to the families, legislators, and FDA, the brothers present the daily strategizing required to get the government and public to pay attention to Duchenne.

They depict the tireless battles that parents fight to protect their kids. As we watch along, we note that these parents will do anything to save their sons. They’ll go to the ends of the earth, to the edge of the sky, so to speak.

To the families affected by Duchenne, the fight against this disease seems like an endless battle. These kids and their families have desperately been seeking a cure for Duchenne for years - forever.

When will a cure be available? Today? Tomorrow? Ten years from now? Will it be too late? Many families would give up in the face of such adversity but these parents and their supporters do not and will not.

They refuse to accept that their boys cannot be cured. Ergo, 'To the Edge of the Sky' hopes to shine a light on and amplify their voices, giving these families much-needed allies to rally alongside them.

And so, and as aforementioned, with a promising drug on the horizon, we witness the transformation of the mothers of four boys into "the rogue moms" as they become political activists and heroes during their righteous battle against time and the FDA. Riveting. Desperate. Searching. Amazing. Watch it tonight. Think about it for the rest of the week, if not longer. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
