24weekers is a British drama film written and directed by Alan Entwistle about the experiences faced by his wife when their son Jack was born 16 weeks early. The film explores the experiences of parents and their babies in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Jack Entwistle's story was covered by the Sunday Mirror in 2006[4][5], when the Nuffield Council on Bioethics made a recommendation to the government to stop treatment of babies born before 26 weeks gestation as these babies were considered by the council to be bed blockers.[6][7] In October 2011, a film trailer for 24weekers was screened in Manchester.[8][9]
