                            Directed by:  Philip Lyall and Nimisha Mukerji


                            65_RedRoses is a riveting documentary that takes an unflinching look
                            into the life of Eva Markvoort as she battles a fatal genetic disease
                            called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). At 23, Eva needs a double lung transplant
                            to live. Unable to be around other patients with the same disease, Eva
                            turns to the internet where she forms a strong connection with two
                            girls her age in different stages of CF. As the film follows Eva on her
                            journey to getting new lungs, we witness how her online friendship
                            with Meg and Kina withstands the tests of both time and distance.
