Knowledge Broadcast of Full Version
Hello Friends! We are so excited and happy about the Knowledge Broadcast of 65_RedRoses at 9pm on November 16th in Canada!!! They are airing the full version, along with an update I recorded a couple of months ago.
This fall has been a time full of remembrance for me, it’s strange to think about how much has changed in a year. Last November we were watching the world premiere broadcast of the film with Eva at Vancouver General Hospital. It was an incredible night, Eva turned the premiere into a giant pajama party and Dr. Yee even stopped by on his break to see us all gathered around the TV. I know that everyone’s downloading shows and movies these days, but I really can’t tell you how exciting it was as a director to see Eva’s story on television for the first time, and know that across Canada people flipping through channels could tune in and watch the film in their homes.
I hope that we reach a lot of viewers tonight, especially in BC, Eva’s home province. If you’re visiting our campaign site for the first time, our mission is to increase the number of organ donors in Canada. So on behalf of the 65_RedRoses team we hope that you will consider taking ten minutes to register online through this site and give the gift of life.
If you wish to make a financial contribution please donate to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – their researchers are working very hard to find a cure for CF.
Love, love, love and love some more! That’s what our girl Red wanted.
Cheers from Mumbai,
Nimisha
Co-Director/Producer 65_RedRoses

Though I’ve seen it three times already, I watched once more. Even after the credits had run, I kept watching because I was sure that there would be a mention of Eva’s passing… Nimisha, your update was very touching. I think the friendship that the two of you had with Eva shows through in this documentary, how Eva really did let you in so close.
I’m so pleased that her documentary has been picked up by OWN. The more people hear her message, the better.
Why oh why did they end the story telling us that she was doing well and attending university… The story was moving, heartbreaking touching, shocking and searing all at once… But i wish I had known she didn’t make it 
What an incredible and sad story that just grips you… she lives on in her blog entries but It sure makes you realize that transplants themselves are really still a super new thing I guess….
I had`nt heard much about Eva`s plight.I watched the Movie Tues eve & was in tear`s,i did`nt know at that time that beautiful Eva had passed away.My Heart sank when i decided to look her up online & read the Tragic News.”why” i ask & “why can`t i help people”,”why cant we spend our time on this earth helping other`s”…I don`t understand & i am so sad …God Bless you & keep you alway`s sweet Eva ( my Mother`s name also ).I wish i could`ve known you.

Thank you for bringing us Eva’s story… it touched my heart and opened my mind to organ donation. (Winlaw, BC)
