Program Description
Event Details
The Human Trial introduces audiences to a radical stem cell treatment for diabetes, a disease that, shockingly, kills more than five million people each year. Peeling back the headlines to show the sweat, passion and sacrifice poured into every medical breakthrough, the film interweaves the stories of the patients - who have borne the physical and financial burdens of type 1 diabetes - with the researchers who epitomize the struggle of innovating cures. Director Lisa Hepner - whose own T1D fuels her search for a cure - becomes the bridge between these two worlds.
