2013 Abelcine Documentary Grant - The Human Trial from Vox Pop Films on Vimeo.
I found this trailer to a documentary about Type 1 Diabetes, The Human Trial on the OBEY site a couple of months ago. I like the authentic, no holds barred tone of this trailer. The director of the documentary, Lisa Hepner, has Diabetes which doesn't surprise me. No smooth, glowy marketing messages here, thank you very much (think all the pump company images of happy people running on the beach we have to endure). I can't wait for the movie to come out! I'm also grateful to Shepard Fairey for sharing it. Lot's of eyes on an article posted on a massively popular blog means more awareness. A great documentary that tells the inside story means deeper connection. "We believe that stories are the most powerful vehicle for social change,” Lisa said. “Witness the impact the documentary, The Inconvenient Truth, had on climate change. Films expose, enlighten, and educate — and have the potential to drive meaningful action." Always a good thing!
