Benji and Judah a collaborative documentary by Hannah Guggenheim



This a scene from my film "Benji and Judah" a collaborative documentary we filmed over the course of five years in Oakland, CA.

This is a post from Film Click about the film that debuted at Mill Valley Film Festival

Mill Valley Film Festival - Benji and Judah
A year after befriending her wheel-chair bound neighbors, film student and first-time filmmaker Hannah Guggenheim, began to shoot them as subjects for her master’s thesis project at SFSU. She continued to pursue the story for years after finishing her degree. The result is Benji and Judah, an emotionally powerful story centered around twin brothers born with spina bifida, (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spine during pregnancy) and their mother, Jeanette, who struggles to find a home for her physically-challenged sons and seven other children. The film screened at this yearʼs Mill Valley Film Festival as part of the Home In the Heart series.
