Lisa Hepner - The Human Trial

Director, Writer, and Producer Lisa Hepner sits down with Jan Price to discuss her new documentary, "The Human Trial," – streaming online and playing in select theaters!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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
