A dimly lit dining room, childhood hymns softly playing in the background, a semi-circle of 15 wheelchairs. Each chair occupied by an elderly mother, grandmother, or great grandmother. Each of them cradling a doll. Perhaps lost in memories of their past, they gently rock, hug, kiss and talk to these dolls. The interaction is so real that even in seeing it is still hard to believe.
