Join NOVA for a one-night-only event inspired by the documentary The Battle to Breathe, which follows the decades-long scientific quest, fueled by desperate parents, to develop a life-saving breakthrough treatment for cystic fibrosis.
In this special event, we will hear from people living with cystic fibrosis, doctors, and scientists, all working together towards an extraordinary medical revolution in the battle against cystic fibrosis, the most common fatal genetic disease in the U.S.
Highlights of event will include extended clips from the film, The Battle to Breathe, a panel discussion with some of the people involved in this radical medical breakthrough, and an audience Q&A followed by a catered reception in the atrium.
Our panel will include:
- Julia Cort, Co-Executive Producer, NOVA – Moderator
