OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network premieres 65 RED ROSES tonight, May 3 from 9-11 p.m. ET/PT. The film takes an unflinching look into the life of Eva Markvoort as she battles a fatal genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). At 23, Eva needs a double lung transplant to live.

Unable to be around other patients with the same disease, Eva turns to the internet where she forms a strong connection with two American girls, Meg and Kina, in different stages of CF. As the film follows Eva on her journey to get new lungs, we witness how her online friendships withstand the tests ofboth time and distance. The film is directed by Nimisha Mukerji and Philip Lyall and produced by John Ritchie. Executive produced by Rob Bromley and Gillian Lowrey.
