Eva's Dream

Nov. 17th, 2010 at 12:37 AM

heart arms
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.
OWN smells Roses with doc pick-ups

Soon-to-launch US cable network OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network has unveiled three documentary acquisitions, including a film about a Canadian woman suffering from cystic fibrosis.

65_RedRoses is one of three films picked up by the network for its forthcoming Documentary Film Club strand, which launches next spring. It tells the story of a 23-year-old woman with the genetic disease and awaiting a double lung transplant.

The doc is directed by Nimisha Mukerji and Philip Lyall, and produced by Force Four Entertainment in association with CBC Newsworld and Dualogue Productions.
