Audrey's Children
Audrey's Children
As the growing resistance to the Vietnam War takes to the streets of 1969 Philadelphia, Dr. Audrey Evans (Natalie Dormer) is fighting her own revolution amid the dated, crowded hallways of the world-renowned Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in this empowering true story.
The British doctor may be the first female chief of pediatric oncology in CHOP’s history, yet her colleagues appear to withhold deserved respect. She finds herself the only woman in the room, balancing fierce determination with an undeniably tender bedside manner for the families of ill children. When her progressive new treatment methods are at first dismissed, and then nearly sidelined, Dr. Evans embarks on an unforgettable mission that will change the lives of millions of patients and their families.
Director Ami Canaan Mann exquisitely captures an era of revolution to the world of medicine and the woman behind it, with Natalie Dormer embodying the playful warmth and passionate resolve of a true hero and co-founder of Ronald McDonald House Charities.
