Diabetes sufferers are often blamed for their condition. It is seen as a result of sugar-rich diets and unhealthy lifestyles. But diabetes may sometimes appear on people who are just too young to have done anything wrong. This short documentary piece tries to raise awareness of type 1 diabetes by presenting the stories of America and Alexis, two kids from suburban Guadalajara in Mexico.
