When will Audrey's Children be released?

Audrey's Children will hit select theatres in the United States on March 28, 2025, the same day as Jason Statham's highly-anticipated action thriller, A Working Man's release. The movie was initially set for a 2023 release and filming took place back in 2022.

What do we know about the story of Audrey's Children?

Audrey's Children centers on well-known pediatric oncologist, Dr. Audrey Evans, and her chronicles through the unstable medical system of the 70s. Audrey was the co-founder of the Ronald McDonald House Charities and her contribution to the 70s healthcare system is incomparable.

She faced a lot of challenges while doing her research on Neuroblastoma (which is a fatal nerve cancer strain that mostly affects small children) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Not only did she study the deadly form of cancer but also came up with treatments for this life-taking disease whose mortality rate at that time was close to 70%.

The film will leave glimpses of Audrey's unconventional and progressive approach that brought good results, despite her confrontations with the medical authorities. However, the methods she mastered helped millions of ill children and their families over the years. Dr. Audrey Evans was known for her irrevocable determination, vast knowledge of medical science, and patient-centric approach.
