Alison Crouse

Alison will produce a feature-length documentary, My Cells Are Red Bananas, about eight-year-old Sakaiyah’s experience of sickle cell anemia. Uniquely focused on Sakaiyah’s perspective as a young child, but balanced with the expertise of medical professionals and community organizations, the project aims to use visual means as a way to continue and expand the dialogue about sickle cell. The project will also include an online resource guide and blog where people may build their knowledge base and share their own experiences with sickle cell anemia.
