Barch Levi Blum was born in late 2009 at Toronto's Mt. Sinai Hospital. He lived for ten minutes.
And though Barch's life was too short a life for an obituary, his mother found a way to memorialize him.
Capturing the Brief Life and Death of an Infant won a Best Documentary: Honorable Mention Award in the 2010 Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition. The story was produced in the last week of 2009 for NPR's Obituary Project.
