Jazmine and Amaya – CBBC

Producer/Director

Jazmine is determined to raise awareness about her little sister Amaya’s rare chromosome condition, which is so uncommon that it doesn’t even have a name, but is known by doctors as 1Q43Q44 Deletion Syndrome. Amaya can’t walk or talk, but the bond between the two sisters is evident.

In this heartwarming film, nine-year-old Jazmine welcomes us into her family home to meet her siblings and see the chaos of daily family life. However, Jazmine is on a mission – she wants to change the way people see her little sister. Her love of reading inspires her to write to her favourite author for support, and as she nervously prepares for a presentation in front of her school, she receives a reply. Jacqueline Wilson gives her just the boost she needs to do her talk, but will Amaya be well enough to attend?
