In observance of World Diabetes Day, the Lincoln Theatre presents a free screening of the documentary The Human Trial.
In 2011, filmmakers 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), Lisa and Guy embedded themselves with a biotech company for seven years, allowing them 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 risk everything to be first.
