Set in the clinical austerity of St. Vincent Hospital’s Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit, A Chance to Grow follows three prematurely born infants and their families through the harrowing beginning of their lives. Intimate video footage shot within NICU details the steady tension present as the babies overcome the initial crisis of birth and the subsequent threats of disease and infection. Contrasting with the austere surroundings are the relationships between hospital staff and parents, all fiercely devoted to the children and their struggle for life.
