Trailer Watch: Best Friends Travel to Latin America for Medical Help in Netflix Doc “Léa & I”

"Léa & I"

In her Netflix documentary “Léa & I,” director Camille Shooshani introduces the audience to her best friend, Léa Moret. “She speaks five languages, cannot stop eating Haribo candy peaches, and has cystic fibrosis,” Shooshani describes in a trailer debuted by Variety, “which means that her life expectancy hovers around 37.”

However, Shooshani is adamant that, despite her illness, “[Léa is] more alive than anyone I’ve ever met.” That does seem to be the case. After all, it’s Moret who — upon the friends’ graduation from USC — convinces Shooshani “to take a trip.”

The doc follows the duo as they journey to Latin America to find alternative medical treatment for Moret. Their adventures include meeting with a shaman in Peru, taking Ayahuasca, and trying holistic medicines.

“Léa & I” marks Shooshani and Moret’s debut project, according to the source. They wrote it together, Shooshani directed, and Moret produced.

The film is now streaming on Netflix.
