Heart to Heart is the main feature in this set of documentaries about remarkable children fighting against the odds. Bailey Hunsberger is a young girl who was born with a diseased heart. By the age of 12, her heart is beginning to shut down, and with no known cure for her ailment, her best option for survival is a treatment that was developed in Germany, but rarely allowed to be practiced in the United States by the Federal Drug Administration.

Bailey’s doctors at Riley Children’s Hospital work to obtain the FDA’s special approval to use the “Berlin Heart” on Bailey. It’s complicated surgery, and will require Bailey to live in a hospital room for six months before the outcome of the procedure can be determined.
Actor Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy) hosts and narrates this gripping story of hope, life and death – all shot right here in Indianapolis.
