65_RedRoses: The Film

A true testament of the human spirit, 65_RedRoses redefines the traditional scope of documentary film in an electronic age. This personal and touching journey takes an unflinching look into the lives of Eva Markvoort and her two online friends who are all battling Cystic Fibrosis (CF) - a fatal genetic disease affecting the lungs and digestive system.

For Eva (AKA 65_RedRoses) the clock is ticking as she waits at the top of the donor list for a double lung transplant. Despite the risks of transplant Eva remains unwavering in her belief that her pager will go off and she will get the call letting her know a donor has been found.

65_RedRoses is a very personal film for directors Philip Lyall and Nimisha Mukerji. The idea for the documentary came through Philip's friendship with Eva, who he met at University. So captivated by Eva's personality and her will to live, the pair began following Eva's story as she went through the process of getting a double lung transplant.

65_RedRoses: Eva's Legacy

Sadly less than a year after the launch of the film, Eva lost her fight with Cystic Fibrosis while waiting for a second double lung transplant.

Now the filmmakers wish is to carry out Eva's wish - that her work on behalf of organ donation carry on.
