Netflix will premiere a new documentary next month, 15th September, to be precise, and believe us, it is the most incredible documentary to hit the streaming platform. Titled ‘Hope Frozen: A Quest To Live Twice‘, it is a moving and highly affecting account of a family’s astonishing decision to have Einz, their two-year-old daughter, cryogenically frozen on the day she passed away from brain cancer.
The family – comprising a scientist father, mother and elder brother, decide to go ahead with the difficult, heart-rending endeavour with the hope that they might one day be able to bring little Einz back to life with more sophisticated advancements in the field of cryogenics and brain cancer. Cryogenics is the science by which a human body is preserved under freezing temperatures in order to maintain cellular life. Einz thus became the world’s youngest person to undergo cryo-preservation.
The award-winning documentary film, directed by journalist-filmmaker Pailin Wedel, will be released globally on Netflix on September 15th.
The official Netflix description of Hope Frozen: A Quest To Live Twice –
“A two-year-old girl from Bangkok — nicknamed “Einz” — became the youngest person in the world to undergo cryo-preservation. After her death from brain cancer, her family stores her remains in an American lab. Her head and brain now rest inside a tank in Arizona. Hope Frozen follows the family who made this unorthodox decision. The girl’s father, a laser scientist, yearns to give Einz the opportunity to experience a rebirth inside a regenerated body. He instills this dream inside his son, a 15-year-old whiz kid named Matrix, who wants to be a part of reviving his little sister. But what the boy later discovers will rattle the family’s radical hope in science.”
Judging by the buzz in industry circles and the awards circuit, and also from the official Netflix description, the documentary seems to be a must watch.
