I'm Eric Merola, director of "Ukraine: Fetal Stem Cell Pioneers" and "The God Cells".
I’ve been making documentary films that explore innovative and disruptive medical technologies for 15 years. “The God Cells” is my 4th documentary, and “Ukraine: Fetal Stem Cell Pioneers” is my 6th documentary — both explore fetal stem cell therapy, with a primary focus on EmCell, in Kyiv, Ukraine—because there is literally no other institution on earth doing this, and Ukraine is the only country on earth this therapy is legal and regulated. In addition to being a journalist in this effort, I am also a fetal stem cell patient.
What an experience.
Since 2016, I have traveled to EmCell dozens of times: seven times for treatment, plus accompanying friends and family for their treatment. Email me if you wish to ask me questions about the experience.
