About Audrey's Children

Audrey's Children tells the untold true story of visionary British physician Dr. Audrey Evans, who burst onto the scene in 1969 as the first female Chief of Oncology at the world-renowned Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Battling sexism, medical conventions, and the subterfuge of her peers, Evans developed the first Neuroblastoma Staging System, co-founded the first Ronald McDonald House for families of patients, and, ultimately, impacted the lives of millions of children and families around the world.

AMI CANAAN MANN (Director)

Ami Canaan Mann is an award-winning TV and film writer/director and fiction writer. Her most recent film, Audrey’s Children will be released theatrically on March 28, 2025.  Set in 1969 Philadelphia, the film stars Natalie Dormer as Dr. Audrey Evans, the revolutionary pediatric oncologist who gained worldwide recognition for her groundbreaking work in treating children with neuroblastoma.

Mann’s passion for filmmaking comes through her body work across both the big and small screen. Her debut feature film Morning won several festival awards, and her follow up Texas Killing Fields, starring Jessica Chastain, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Chloe Grace Moretz was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 68th Venice International Film Festival. Additionally, her film Jackie and Ryan starring Ben Barnes and Katherine Heigl was nominated for the Orizzonti at the 71st Venice International Film Festival.

In television/streaming, Mann’s pilot episode block of the Netflix series In From the Cold reached Netflix’s Top 10 in the US and internationally. Other series directing work includes, House of Cards, Shots Fired and Sneaky Pete. Her episode of Friday Night Lights, “I Can’t”, received a Television Academy Honors Award for Television with a Conscience.

Mann attended the USC School of Cinema/Television’s Production Program and is a graduate of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College.
