Plot Summary[]
As it appeared in the 2006 Fargo Film Festival program: Do you think a pain-free life sounds great? Think again. A Life without Pain is an exploration into the day-to-day lives of three children who literally can't feel pain. Three-year-old Gabby from Minnesota, 7-year-old Miriam from Norway and 10 year old Jamilah from Germany suffer from a genetic defect so rare that is shared by only about one hundred people in the world. As filmmaker Melody Gilbert follows these families coping with this enormous challenge, we learn that pain is really a gift that no one wants, but none of us can do without.
