Filmed over three years, Cure Canavan follows the first phases of a groundbreaking gene therapy clinical trial for Canavan disease, a rare and devastating neurological disease. It's a gripping medical drama, full of humor, heartbreak, and scientific intrigue. At its heart are families coming together from around the world at a moment the world is fracturing apart, a scientist who has given twenty-five years of her life trying to cure the incurable, a highly skilled neurosurgeon whose dedication comes at great personal cost, and of course, the children themselves, the real heroes of the story. And running underneath it all is a mystery: is the gene therapy actually working?
