Offering a sense of scope and unflinching humanity comparable to Hoop Dreams, A Lion in the House is a remarkable journey that provides an unprecedented look at the struggles with cancer of five young people and their families over a six-year period. Filmmakers Steven Bognar (Personal Belongings) and Julia Reichert (Seeing Red, Union Maids) bring audiences face to face with the uncertainty of the entire cancer experience and its rippling effects on family, community, and professional caregivers.
