Shalom Almond is the next emerging filmmaker to feature in ABC2’s Opening Shot documentary series with her film, Love-Heart Baby.

Filmmaker Shalom Almond and her husband Osker want a baby, but because Shalom has inherited an eye disease that leads to blindness, they don’t want to enter a random genetic lottery. Now modern science has thrown them a bone. It’s a controversial process called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis and it might just make them a baby with perfect eyes. So the couple embark on the painful, expensive and morally fraught course that is embryo screening. It’s a harrowing ride for them and their extended family, and the destination seems forever distant – until they take one last, risky turn that ultimately changes their lives.

9:30pm Sunday, 2 December ABC2.
