About
When three-year-old Magnolia Tesler was diagnosed with a rare disease, her parents didn’t know what to do.
This intimate documentary follows the Tesler family as they spring into action in an effort to cure their daughter from a rare, debilitating disorder.
An ordinary and healthy baby, she was crawling, talking, and hitting all her milestones. But around the age of two, she started developing mysterious symptoms:
- balance issues
- hand wringing
- speech loss
- rocking for hours in her crib
Her parents, AJ and Jenny, were desperate for answers. After taking Maggie to numerous specialists, they got a heartbreaking diagnosis: Rett Syndrome.
Spanning eight years and told through home videos, vlogs, animation, and interviews, “Magnolia’s Hope” is a raw, first-hand account of a family struggling to cope with a child’s special needs through therapies, clinical trials and everything in between.
There are 350,000 people in the world suffering from Rett Syndrome. In America, there are over 30 million people living with a rare disease. Many of those people struggled to get a diagnosis before grappling with the hopelessness of a rare disease diagnosis.
We made this movie for each and every one of those people. Thank you for watching.
