Company Summary

RETURN TO ZERO is a touching and true story about a couple who lose their first child in the final weeks of pregnancy, how they fight to overcome their grief, save their relationship and start a family together. In the U.S. alone there are nearly 36,000 stillbirths a year yet this topic has never been the main subject of a feature film.
