About this movie

For seven years, Lisa Hepner and her husband Guy Mossman embedded themselves with a biotech company in San Diego, following a radical clinical trial that might be the cure for type 1 diabetes. The filmmakers were given unprecedented access to 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.
