Farrell's New HBO Doc: A Story of Friendship
23 Feb
Summary
- Colin Farrell stars in a new HBO documentary about EB survivor Emma Fogarty.
- The film documents their friendship and Fogarty's journey with Epidermolysis Bullosa.
- HBO will premiere the documentary on its network and HBO Max later this year.
Actor Colin Farrell is set to appear in a new HBO documentary titled "The Slightest Touch," acquired by HBO Documentary Films. This film highlights the profound friendship between Farrell and Emma Fogarty, an individual living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a severe genetic disorder causing extreme skin fragility.
As Fogarty reaches her 40th birthday, an age medical professionals once thought unlikely for her to attain, the documentary captures her life and resilience. A significant moment features Farrell accompanying her in the Dublin Marathon, assisting by pushing her wheelchair through the closing miles.
The documentary, directed by Rachel Fleit, promises an intimate look at their bond and the support systems that have sustained them. It is slated for release later this year on HBO and will be available for streaming on HBO Max worldwide.
