65_RedRoses is a Canadian documentary that takes an unflinching look into the life of Eva Markvoort as she battles a fatal genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). At 23, Eva needs a double lung transplant to live. Unable to be around other patients with the same disease, Eva turns to the internet where she forms a strong connection with two American girls in different stages of CF. As the film follows Eva on her journey to getting new lungs, we witness how her online friendship with Meg and Kina withstands the tests of both time and distance.
65_RedRoses has won the Audience Awards at the 2009 Vancouver International Film Festival for Best Canadian Film and Best Canadian Documentary, as well as the Artistic Merit Award from Women In Film Vancouver. It also won an Audience Award at the 2009 Hot Docs International Film Festival in Toronto.
