The director of Force Of Destiny officially launched this year’s Border Mail International Film Festival at Albury’s Regent Cinemas on Wednesday.
It’s a story of love and emotion and cancer of the liver.
For Cox, who had a liver transplant at Melbourne’s Austin hospital in 2009, it was a chance to use his experience to get audiences thinking.
"There's a bit more here than in the average film but this is a love story and it's also a story to actually make people more aware of organ donation,” Cox said in Albury yesterday.
"It is absolutely disgusting that we still live in a country where up to 2000 people are waiting to die unless they get an organ, and I think 20 to 30 per cent of those people will die.”
The Border Mail International Film Festival runs until August 30 at Albury’s Regent Cinemas.
