RSS FeedAccidental Advocate Screens Jan 12 At E Street Cinema
The Accidental Advocate billed as “a story of love, hope and the politics of stem cell research” will be screened in cities across the US on one day only in each city. DC goes first on Monday, January 12 at 7 pm at the E Street Cinema (555 11th Street NW). Here’s the synopsis:
When Claude Gerstle, a surgeon and athlete, suffers a tragic bicycle accident that leaves him paralyzed from the neck down, he and his daughter, Jessica, find hope in stem cell research. The Accidental Advocate is a wheelchair odyssey of a father and daughter who track down the thinkers, the politicians, the crusaders and the naysayers in an effort to understand the promise of the science and why a political quagmire is stalling a cure.
