ARI - A STORY OF LOVE AND LIFE

Ariana Benedé, Ari, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of 13. Alongside her mother and a team of health care professionals, they embarked on a race against time to pioneer the first clinical trials of CAR-T therapy, an innovative treatment that modifies immune cells to effectively combat cancerous cells. The documentary narrates the story of a mother and daughter's battle to bring new hope to patients like Ari, who had exhausted all therapeutic options and had little hope left. Ari never lost her spirit or her hope to achieve this. Along the way, many people supported her, society responded, and it all served to mobilize professionals and researchers to make Ari's dream a reality – saving lives with this new treatment.
