A SICKLE CELL WARRIORS STORY
STUDENTS ARE HEROES
TWO-TIME AWARD-WINNING FILM
SYNOPSIS
“Students Are Heroes: A Sickle Cell Warrior Story” was premiered last night at the Angelika Theater in New York City following a packed Red Carpet event featuring director and screen writer Keenan “Special” Bristol and executive producer Prince Ford.
The movie explored the journey of a young student, Jordana, who’s hopes and dreams are to run the New York City Marathon, but she is sadly stricken with a severe sickle cell crisis and faces her mortality because of a genotypical blood shortage.
​
The point the film hoped to conquer was the fact that African-Americans, Latino and Caribbean blood donors who have this genotypical factor are scarce. Special and his organization “Music Brings Life (who also acted in the film and presented a song he wrote for the film) absolutely got his point across while also creating an ingenious and spellbinding movie.

REVIEWS
Music Brings Life”, proudly presents a heartwarming film dedicated to bringing awareness of the shortage of blood donations for victims facing sickle cell disease by African-American, Latino and Caribbean donors.
All proceeds support Music Brings Life’s High School “Heroes Donate Blood Program” with an inspiring goal to collect 10,000 pints of Blood.
For me the leading lady aside from Jordana was Ms. Paula Ellis Marcus who inspired the movie and the cause after she nearly died after a surgery because of lack of available blood.
