Available on: Netflix
A mother takes her family from Mexico to India in search of an experimental treatment for her young son Lucca, who has cerebral palsy. Based on the autobiographical book The Two Hemispheres of Lucca by Bárbara Anderson, this 2025 Mexican film tells the family’s real story — the hope, the exhaustion, the endless logistics, and the lengths a parent will travel for their child.
A moving look at parenting through the medical maze, with rare and grounded representation of cerebral palsy and HIE (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy). Worth watching with tissues nearby — and a great prompt for conversations about disability, hope, and the realities behind the headlines.
