Cranio Men

Craniosynostosis is a rare birth defect correctible with a controversial surgery. The surgery removes bone from the skull of the affected baby and averts potential brain damage or death. But it is deemed cosmetic and elective causing parents much confusion. Trevor Baierl sits down with Kase Johnstun (author of "Beyond the Grip of Craniosynostosis") to help inform the public about the birth defect and life since they both received the controversial surgery over 40 years ago.

Director Statement

In a world where seemingly every answer is a google search away, I have found gaps in information that need to be filled. When a parent is suddenly faced with a decision to open up their newborn baby's skull, they want to hear from people who have lived this - not just the doctors. Kase and I are trying to fill the void and put parents at ease with the decision - as daunting as it appears to be.
