“Force of Destiny” is a unique story of a girl who, as a result of her parents’ refusal to receive vaccinations, contracted whooping cough and measles. The consequences of these diseases are amazing. At the age of two, Nastya Huzarska developed complications from measles. And by the age of four, the situation reached such a critical level that the only way to save the girl was a heart transplant.
The main message of the film is the touching story of a child and how the disease changed her life and her family.
