Everything (2015)

Everything is a short film inspired by a true story. A mother is forced to take desperate actions to save the life of her cancer-stricken daughter when a bone marrow donor suddenly backs out of the life-saving procedure. Nearly 3,000 Americans die each year because they can't find a bone marrow donor match. Only 2% of Americans are on the national bone marrow registry. Everything examines the issue of offering compensation for bone marrow donors as a means of encouraging more donors into the donor pool and encouraging those who are a match to follow through when called upon. Nearly half of all identified bone marrow donors back out leaving cancer patients' lives in jeopardy. Compensation holds the power to change that. Everything stars Mandy Levin, Kristin Dattilo and Michel Gill.
