little man is lesbian filmmaker Nicole Conn's award-winning documentary about her micro-preemie son, Nicholas, born 100 days early, as he struggles for survival.

When Nicholas is born 100 days early, he weighs only one pound and faces impossible odds for survival. As he struggles for life, so struggle his two mothers: out lesbian filmmaker Nicole Conn (Elena Undone, A Perfect Ending) and political activist Gwen Baba, to keep their family from disintegrating under the unrelenting stress and chaos of hospitals, emergency medical crises and a crushing blow to trust.
