ISN Community Film Event: Raise Awareness by Sharing Your Kidney Care Story
Storytelling is a powerful way to inform, educate, and activate change. Help raise awareness and improve understanding of the reality of living with kidney disease by sharing your story at the ISN Community Film Event.
Previous editions have recognized the inspirational hope and courage of dedicated healthcare professionals and their patients fighting to live well with kidney disease. Former winners include “Dialysis Journey of a Sarawakian” (2019), “Hope is a Walking Dream” (2020), “Life Beyond the Transplant” and “The Mountain in his Blood” (2021). For more information about previous editions and winners, please visit the ISN website.
