- A documentation of a selfless wife's mission to ease the pain and comfort her ailing husband, captured through the lens of the human experience of caregiving and told in a language that all are fluent in; love.
- In life, there is man and his virtues. People walk about this earth and attempt to commit actions of good as some piece of charity or courage. As though their work is an apology of their conception, and their virtues penances. Some create a spectacle; glittering and loud. Others simply live humbly, quietly and without the need for assurance or recognition. Their deeds are simply love in action and life in play. Pamela Morrow; a wife, mother, and caregiver is an example of the latter.
In 'Give', Director, Vanessa Leigh exposes the strength and spirit of her own mother, Pamela, as she provides aid and comfort to her husband, William, as she has daily since his Parkinson's diagnosis in 1993. A relationship founded in health thirty three years ago, Pamela and William have battled this debilitating disease together. Both wake up each morning never quite knowing what to expect from the slow and inevitable process that comes along with it. A disease that keeps William at the edge of human experience, Parkinson's has also altered Pamela's life, as well. She happily sacrifices her independence in order to create a life experience only she and her husband understand, where she is her husband's 'giver'.
A powerful documentary created in the spirit of all who care for those they love, 'Give' is a poignant and heartbreaking reminder that it is only when you give yourself, that you truly give.
