The Girl in the Window

She was found curled up in a filthy room, unable to speak or make eye contact. They called her a feral child. Could nurturing make up for a lifetime of neglect?

The girl in the window is a story about a 9-year-old girl named Dani. Ultimately it's a story about hope. It's the result of 6 months of work -- countless hours of interviews, thousands of miles driven and too many images to count. It is also the most important story I've ever had the opportunity to tell. I also love that I got the chance to tell it with the most amazing writer I know. Lane DeGregory's words are amazing, and in reading them it took me back there and showed me things I'd never seen before -- even though I was right there with her. Her talent and gift helped do Dani's story justice.

Please go watch the multimedia piece. The voices of all those people who have come into contact with a very special little girl say far more than I ever could.
