An Unfinished Life: The True Impact of Antibiotic Resistance

Attend the Australian premiere screening of the impactful, internationally acclaimed documentary "Salt in My Soul" and hear from international and local experts in the field of antibiotic resistance.

About Salt in My Soul

The documentary, "Salt in My Soul", follows the life of Mallory Smith. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 3, and a resistant superbug infection at the age of 15, Mallory reflects on life with a terminal, chronic, and sometimes invisible illness with incredible wisdom and insight. A keen environmentalist, she saw a startling and vivid metaphor for her declining health in the destruction of our world. In Mallory’s final days, her father uncovered a long-forgotten treatment that is now changing the world of medicine. Heartbreakingly, it came too late to save his daughter.

 

About the Event

Attendees will receive a drink upon arrival and light refreshments - so be sure to arrive on time. Guests will hear opening words from Mallory's mother - Diane Shader Smith - who is now a prolific advocate of AMR therapies across the US, and view a screening of Salt in My Soul. Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of a panel of AMR experts including Australian of the Year, Professor Fiona Wood.

A portion of ticket proceeds will go to Mallory's Legacy Fund - which supports research projects and clinical trials in AMR.
