"Coloring Outside the Lines" follows the story of four patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), their medical teams, and the scientists who created a first-of-its kind blood cancer master clinical trial that is transforming how this disease is treated.
From two-time Peabody and six-time Emmy award-winning journalists and filmmakers Geraldine Moriba and Jamila Paksima, the documentary is an eye-opening story about a group of scientific visionaries and the patients who trusted them. The film captures the stories of Dorila, Jerry, Martha and Susan, who enrolled in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Beat AML® Master Clinical Trial.
"Coloring Outside the Lines" was five years in the making, starting shortly after LLS launched the trial in 2016 to capture in-depth stories about how all four individuals -- after given a devastating prognosis -- were able to continue to enjoy their lives, hobbies, interests and extra time with their families. Today, more than 1,400 patients have joined the trial, which is improving survival rates and quality of life compared to standard chemotherapy.
