Informative and heartbreaking documentary, The Human Trial, is out in select theaters and Watch @Home Virtual this Friday the 24th. Co-Director and cinematographer Guy Mossman talked with our Gadi Elkon.
More than a decade in the making, THE HUMAN TRIAL follows a groundbreaking clinical trial that peels back the headlines to show the sweat, passion and sacrifice behind every breakthrough cure. In 2011, Lisa Hepner and her husband Guy Mossman heard about a radical stem cell treatment for diabetes, a disease that shockingly kills more than five million people each year. Driven by a desire to cure Lisa of her own type 1 diabetes (T1D), the filmmakers were given unprecedented, real-time access to a clinical trial – only the sixth-ever embryonic stem cell trial in the world. What follows is an intimate journey with the patients and scientists who put themselves on the line to be first.
Guy and Gadi talked about Mossman’s previous work, the personal connections to T1D for Lisa and Guy, the near decade of this project, Beyond Type 1, and so much more!
