They say blood is thicker than water, but what if your own familial blood is the source of your figurative bleeding? Through Thick and Thin is all about familial narratives and surviving the toughest battles with the people you love the most. From films about loss and grief, to those of resilience and remembrance, we hope this program will have you feeling closer to your true family than ever, even if they aren't always of your own blood.
When Jane and her boyfriend Henry stop at an unassuming motel during their road trip, it turns out to be a much more important destination for her than he knows. She sneaks out early in the morning to speak with Norma at the front desk, their conversation about local lakeside activities leading to the coded question Jane has been waiting for: would she like to wade? Or row? Jane is seen by the doctor in the motel’s covert clinic, but while they perform her illegal abortion Henry wakes up to find Jane missing, and a police officer’s unexpected arrival threatens to expose those whole underground operations.
