THE HUMAN TRIAL
The Human Trial (formerly "Patient 13") follows three scientists in a race to cure diabetes, one of the fastest growing diseases of our time. All are personally connected to the disease. All are driven to cure it. But who will change the course of medicine? Who will get there first? This verite documentary gives you a front-row seat to a potential history-making clinical trial. If the cure works, the results are immediate. Within 48 hours patients could be off insulin, some for the first time in their lives.

Why the Film
Every day 2700 Americans are diagnosed with diabetes, 1200 people will die from diabetes complications, 180 people will have limb amputations from diabetes, 120 people will develop end-stage renal failure from diabetes and 75 people will go blind from diabetes. About one third of American children will be diagnosed with diabetes within their lifetimes.

Simply put, diabetes is an epidemic. Yet outside of these frightening statistics, the general public knows very little about this disease. The Human Trial is a starting point for a national conversation.
