Before Eva died, her friend Nimisha Mukerji vowed to do all she could to promote CF awareness and organ donation awareness by finding an American network to show the film 65_RedRoses. It was Eva's dream to see this happen as she knew the impact a viewing of this film in the U.S. could have on raising awareness for the 2 causes about which she was passionate. Nimisha has worked tirelessly to promote the film locally, nationally and now, yes ... internationally.
It's official, 65_RedRoses will be airing in the US on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011!!! This version of the film has been re-edited to include reference to the last two years of Eva's life, a very difficult task for Justin (editor) and Nimisha (director). Nimisha and her co-director Phil Lyall thank the many American supporters who have helped bring Eva's story to the US. This is amazing! Below is an excerpt of the press release.
