b'Ben Reiser talks to Bernard Friedman about N OF 1.\\n\\nAn appliance repairman from Canada, an immunologist from Israel, and a transplant surgeon from England meet in a hospital in India. This might sound like the start of an elaborate joke, but it is actually a remarkable real-life collaboration established in an effort to save the life of 26-year-old Kayte, a young Florida woman dying of liver cancer. As this unlikely team invent and then carry out an experimental procedure, the stakes could not possibly be higher, both for Kayte, as well as the broad implications for currently untreatable cancers. An emotionally charged documentary equally notable for its vivid, unforgettable characters and for its thought-provoking twists and turns, Bernard Friedman\\u2019s Golden Badger-winning directorial debut takes the viewer on a journey that spans five countries, and elicits the widest possible gamut of emotions. A riveting tale and an eye-opening exploration on the front lines of western medicine, N of 1 is a potent inquiry into the nature of innovation. (BR)\\n\\nWinner of a 2020 Golden Badger Award'
