You may have heard talk in the FASD world about a new documentary in the making, Embraced: Truth about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. I wanted to find out the details so invited the three principals on the project to talk about it.  

Joel Sheagren is the Director with Jodee Kulp and Justen Overlander co-producing. Joel has a 30-year background in advertising and is a parent to a young man on the Spectrum. Jodee is an author, advocate, both an individual with and parent of a loved one with FASD, co-founder of the Red Shoes Rock movement, and returning guest. Justen is a former teacher who also works in the film industry.

You will find out what the project is all about, how it will be different from other films about FASD and how you can help support Embraced. And if you stay until the end of the Show, you will find out what challenge Jeff issues to Joel!
