The Human Trial Diabetes Documentary – Free Screening in Dubai, 15 November 2022 – Presented by Diapoint & Cinema Akil
More than a decade in the making, The Human Trial follows a groundbreaking clinical trial that peels back the headlines to show the sweat, passion and sacrifice behind every breakthrough cure.
It interweaves the stories of the patients — who have borne the physical and financial burdens of type 1 diabetes (T1D) — with the researchers who epitomize the struggle of innovating cures.
Director Lisa Hepner — whose own T1D fuels her search for a cure — becomes the bridge between these two worlds. The narrative arc is the clinical trial itself.

About The Human Trial
In 2011, director Lisa Hepner and cinematographer Guy Mossman heard about a radical stem cell treatment for diabetes, a disease that kills more than five million people each year.
Driven by a desire to cure Lisa of her own Type 1 Diabetes, the married couple secured unprecedented, real-time access to a clinical trial led by San Diego–based biotech company ViaCyte—only the sixth-ever embryonic stem cell trial in the world.
What follows is an intimate journey with the patients and scientists who put themselves on the line to be first. In the world of biotech and medical research, there are no tidy solutions.
