Dahlia was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was a toddler. This touching short documentary, Blood Sugar, is filmed from her perspective. Through the lens, we witness her world of blood, needles, and very youthful innocence.

This film comes to us from the Loading Docs initiative, which supports 10 filmmaking teams to create three-minute, creative documentaries that tell New Zealand stories. This year's theme is change.
