Movies, books, or anything else?

[Allie]

Are there any books, movies, or any other sort of medium that you think deals with CF well? This year, in my Honors senior class, I have a little bit of space for something, and I was hoping to introduce something that would up the awareness of CF. A book would be ideal, but if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd like to hear them. Movies I could work in also. I know it's kind of silly, but education has to start somewhere, and science classes sure as heck aren't doing it

This goes back several years, so I don't remember the title, but it was like a documentary story made for TV about a girl with CF. The movie was made in the early 80's, and I think it was named after the girl.
I suggest asking the foundation if they have further info regarding it.
Hope that is helpful.

It wasn't a documentary, but are you talking about Alex: The Life of a Child?

Has anyone read Rober Jorday Books or Terry Goodkind?

'Alex: The Life Of A Child', is based on sports writer, Frank Deford's, daughter's fight with CF. It was a made for television movie based on the book of the same name. She died in 1980 when she 8 years old. I guess I watched it too soon after my son was diagnosed, because I was even more scared after watching it. You can request videos from here:
