We are kicking off Women’s History Month with the official trailer for Audrey’s Children, the award-winning biopic film starring Game of Thrones alum Natalie Dormer (The Wasp) as Dr. Audrey Evans, the British-born American pediatric oncologist who was known as the ‘Mother of Neuroblastoma’ and one of the co-founders of the original Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia. She passed away on September 29, 2022 at the age of 97.
Mediha bested 36 films from 19 countries to take home the Grand Prize Award at 29th Stony Brook Film Festival. Directed by Hasan Oswald, this documentary chronicles the journey of a young Yazidi girl returning from ISIS captivity. Using her camera to process her trauma, she documents her experience while rescuers continue to search for her missing family members. The film vividly illustrates the extraordinary endurance of the human spirit and the critical need to amplify the voices of those who have been unheard for too long.
