Medical innovation can come from unexpected sources.
When a young woman in the Southern US is handed the diagnosis of her illness as being terminal cancer, she turns to social media and finds an electronic parts repairman in Toronto, a voracious reader of medical journals, who proposes an idea that could revolutionize medicine. Together they join forces with an immunologist from Israel and a transplant surgeon from the UK, and travel to India to attempt a brave assault on her disease. This emotionally charged documentary is both thought-provoking and inspirational, taking you on a journey spanning five countries, as 26-year-old Kayte, with the support of her family, bravely undergoes an unproven procedure, providing hope of a cure for her disease which could ultimately have broad implications for currently untreatable cancers.
