Have you heard about the documentary 65_RedRoses? It's a film is based on the lung transplant journey of Eva, a 23 year-old with CF from Vancouver. It starts with Eva on the transplant list, declining and spending lots of time in the hospital as the months drag on. The film also focuses on two relationships that Eva has made with other CFers online, and how these girls deal with their current CF lives plus support each other.
I was thrilled to finally see the film. I had to get a day pass to leave the hospital, but I wasn't about to miss it. I highly recommend watching it. It's a real look into life with CF and the wait for new lungs. The film does an amazing job of capturing that. I have been reading Eva’s blog for some time, and her zest for life and fun-loving personality jump out at you immediately. Two years after transplant, Eva’s story continues off-camera. My thoughts are with Eva as she continues her fight. She is amazing.
To check out the trailer and for more info, see 65redroses.com or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMGUXOtFxjc. A shorter version of the film will air on CBC Newsworld’s Passionate Eye on November 16, 2009 at 10pm EST. I am looking forward to it- I want all of my friends and family to watch, plus it's great awareness for CF and organ donation!
