Raining in my Heart tells the story of three extraordinary children at the forefront of cancer research.  The decisions they make, and the risks they take with their own lives, will benefit countless children and adults affected by cancer in the future.

Sophie, Fabian and Chloe are going through an ordeal no child should have to suffer. Their lives are on the line, and their only hope of living through the challenges of the coming months is to become some of the first children in the world to receive immunotherapy treatment.

When a child has cancer, each day is very precious. Filmed over 2 years at Great Ormond Street Hospital by the BAFTA-winning Brian Woods and film-maker, Jess Stevenson, this is a story, rich in humour and hope, of young lives lived to the full in the face of a deadly disease.

“a dignified and sun-dappled film”

“this tender film about three children undergoing gruelling, pioneering cancer treatment has stayed with me. I won’t tell you any more, just ask you, please, to watch.”
Alison Graham, Radio Times
