Film about Jordan Culbreath's fight

Hey folks.

I don't know if this has been on the AA/MDS radar screen, but there´s a documentary coming out about Princeton running back Jordan Culbreath in the spring. It looks really interesting and features Dr. Young.

Has anyone been in contact with the director? It would be great to have a screening at one of the conferences.

Here is the trailer:

Jordan's Miracle Drug

Well,

If you read his Caringbridge journal, he also had a rough case of PNH and had to take Soliris. So, I think they're talking about that given the context.
