Directed by Michael J. Weithorn
Starring Jenna Fischer, Chris O’Donnell, Rob Benedict
Set in suburban Long Island in the summer of 2002, shortly after 9/11, dental hygienist Laura Pehlke gets entangled in a series of bizarre lies in order to take care of herself and her 12-year-old son. When the lies get out of hand, she finds the only way to regain control of her life and her sons is by seeking a little help from an unexpected friend. “A Little Help” is an extraordinary emotional journey of an ordinary person, overwhelmed by ordinary events in a touching story about love and support.
