Description

Unprecedented, real-time access to the world's sixth embryonic stem cell trial. An intimate journey with the patients and scientists who put themselves on the line. In 2011, Lisa Hepner and her husband Guy Mossman heard about a radical stem cell treatment for diabetes, a disease that shockingly kills more than five million people each year. Driven by a desire to cure Lisa of her type 1 diabetes (T1D), the filmmakers were given unprecedented access to a clinical trial-- only the sixth-ever embryonic stem cell trial in the world.
