AMI CANAAN MANN | USA | 2024 | 110 MIN | ENGLISH
As the growing resistance to the Vietnam War takes to the streets of 1969 Philadelphia, Dr. Audrey Evans (Natalie Dormer) is fighting her own revolution amid the dated, frigid hallways of the world-renowned Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in this empowering true story. The British doctor may be the first female chief of pediatric oncology in CHOP’s history, yet her colleagues appear to withhold deserved respect because of her gender. She finds herself the only woman in the room, balancing fierce determination in the face of sexist opposition with an undeniably tender bedside manner for the families of ill children with nowhere to go. When her progressive and revolutionary new methods of treating pediatric cancer are nearly sidelined, Dr. Evans embarks on an unforgettable mission that will change the lives of millions of patients and their families for years to come. Director Ami Canaan Mann exquisitely captures a period of revolutions big and small as Natalie Dormer embodies the playful warmth and passionate resolve of a true Philadelphia hero and co-founder of the first Ronald McDonald House.
Cast: Natalie Dormer, Jimmi Simpson, Clancy Brown
