UK Film Review
The Little Things is the most moving documentary I have seen in years. Thomas Griffiths’ film telling the story of Derian House children’s hospice in Chorley and the families it has helped is incredibly emotional, giving audiences a truthful look at heartbreaking family stories that may be difficult for some viewers – but also managing to beautifully capture the pure good of hospice care and those who commit themselves to it, and how they make places like Derian House a haven for those who need them.
