Public Screening of “Shields of Love” in Reno, NV
Focuses on the Crisis and Triumphs of Today’s American Family
will debut nationally at 4pm on May 12, 2012 at the Pioneer Underground, with tickets for $12 in advance and $15 the day of the show.

When Wes and Monique gave birth to their two sons, Cody and Wyatt, their hopes and dreams for the future of their family were as high as any American parent. However, you and I both know that life-often without much notice-takes unexpected turns; altering the course of a family…forever.

Their son Cody was suffering from severe undiagnosed medical issues. At the same time, their youngest son, Wyatt, suffered a severe knee injury, which almost resulted in the amputation of his leg. The Herbst family began a tireless fight due to the enormous growing medical expenses, and predatory lending, to save their home from foreclosure.

And at the epicenter of this documentary is Cody Herbst, who has suffered from frequent nocturnal seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 17. Since 2008 Cody has undergone 4 neurosurgeries (brain surgeries). He was always called that “one in a million” case because all of his medical diagnoses never seemed to fit the mold, and it is rare to have epilepsy in the parietal part of the brain.

The goal here is to uplift the American family says Monique Herbst; “If we can help one person through this movie, then it was all worth it.”
