ABOUT THE FILM

When Cuban scientist Dr. Teresita Rodríguez’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, she turned heartbreak into innovation—developing and testing a groundbreaking stroke drug on her mother and discovering its potential to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s. Amid the devastating effects of the U.S. embargo on Cuba, which has devastated the country’s economy and blocked its biotech industry—a powerhouse in Latin America—Teresita and her all-woman team of scientists race to finalize clinical trials and release the Alzheimer’s drug, NeuroEpo, by 2026.

More than 55 million people live with Alzheimer’s — but global access to treatment is deeply unequal.

Despite limited resources, Cuba’s public biotech sector developed NeuroEPO, a treatment that has shown promising results in slowing the disease’s progression. But access, visibility, and support are blocked by U.S. sanctions and outdated Cold War policies.

Teresita and her team — made up largely of women — are leading a story of science, care, and resistance.

This campaign is about recognizing that story, sharing it, and building bridges that can shift how the world treats aging, illness, and each other.
