This week the cameras start rolling for Rosie O'Donnell's new documentary, "Unleashing Hope: The Power of Service Dogs for Autism."
The film, co-directed by award-winning filmmakers Zeberiah Newman and Michiel Thomas and produced by O'Donnell and NY27 Productions' Hilary Estey Mcloughlin and Terence Noonan, will tell the story of Guide Dogs of America's program for autistic children. The documentary will highlight O'Donnell's purchase of a dog, Kuma, for her 11-year-old Clay in January.
