#1400-22, 45 minutes, 1996
David Vanderbrink seems like a normal 21-year-old, bright and articulate. There is little to suggest that while in his mother’s womb, he suffered permanent brain damage. His condition, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (F.A.S.), went undiagnosed for the first 18 years of his life, causing confusion, anger, and pain for both David and his adoptive family. This personal story, using video footage shot by David himself, along with the experiences of members of his family, is a hard look into the serious consequences of a little-known, but widespread, health problem.
