Salt in My Soul is the memoir-turned-documentary of Mallory Smith, through her battle with resistant infections as a cystic fibrosis patient. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 3, Mallory turned to a secret diary to record her inner thoughts.
Using that treasure trove of writing, and hours of audio and video discovered after her untimely death, the film is a classic coming-of-age story about choosing to live mindfully and joyously in the face of a chronic and terminal illness.
The Sydney event will take place on the 16th of March at Verona Cinemas. Guests will receive a drink and nibbles on arrival and will also have the chance to engage in a panel discussion with Mallory’s parents Diane and Mark, Richard Alm from CARB-X and local superbug experts. Ticket proceeds go to Mallory’s Legacy Fund – which supports research and clinical trials in AMR.
