GIFTED: The Docuseries (Episode 1) Screening

GIFTED: The Docuseries Episode 1 is a 58-minute independent documentary film that follows the remarkable story of Heather Miller who was just weeks away from graduating from West Virginia University’s School of Nursing, when Heather’s family faced the ultimate decision. On life support following a tragic car crash, Heather would want her last act on Earth to be helping others. Honoring her legacy, the Miller Family donated her organs so four people could live on through the miracle of transplantation. It also follows the Miller Family’s journey through grief and healing as they honor Heather by bringing awareness to the issue of organ and tissue donation, and by raising money to fund over 200 Nursing Scholarships.

Two screenings take place—3pm and 7pm—Saturday, February 22 at Towngate Theatre.

“It was extremely important to me that the Gifted documentary is shown once again in Wheeling not only because it was the Miller’s hometown, but because Wheeling has given so much to making this lifesaving project a reality”, said Robert Horsey, Creator and Executive Producer of GIFTED. “We’re excited to bring this unique event to the people of Wheeling, Pittsburgh and the entire Ohio Valley.”

GIFTED: Episode 1 will be in limited release at screenings and film festivals around the country in 2025 and available to stream in 2026. More information can be found at www.gifted-productions.com
