The film 'Audrey's Children' portrays the legacy of Dr. Audrey Evans, the first female Chief of Oncology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who made significant strides in pediatric cancer treatment during the 1960s and 70s. Directed by Ami Canaan Mann and starring Natalie Dormer, the film captures Evans' spirit and her role in creating the first Ronald McDonald House. Writer Julia Fisher Farbman, who knew Evans, emphasizes the film’s commitment to authentically representing her impact on countless lives through interviews with those connected to her work.
It's really about trying to encapsulate her energy ... you're trying to capture the energy of the human being, the spirit of them.
