We have followed Eva off and on since we started this blog, 2 years ago. Now in the very near future there will be a documentary of her journey with CF and Double Lung Transplantation being shown at the largest documentary film festival in North America, Toronto's Hot Docs! The trailer for the film has been released, and I wanted to share it with you all.
Spread the word and raise awareness - a true tribute to the power of film and the internet!
Redefining the traditional scope of documentary film in an electronic age, 65_RedRoses leaves viewers with a new appreciation of life and the digital world. This personal and touching journey takes an unflinching look into the lives of Eva Markvoort and her two online friends who are all battling Cystic Fibrosis (CF) - a fatal genetic disease affecting the lungs and digestive system.
Unable to meet in person because of the spread of infections and super bugs, the girls have become each other's lifelines through the Internet, providing unconditional love, support and understanding long after visiting hours are over. Now at a critical turning point in their lives, the film travels the distance the friends cannot go themselves, capturing the compelling and often heartbreaking realities they face, just trying to take each breath.
