Summaries

Desperation, love, sacrifice and a new beginning. A legendary Canadian jazz drummer Aubrey Dale saw his career sidetracked by systemic Lupus and Diabetes, and then derailed entirely by non-reversible kidney failure. With no suitable donor in a database, Aubrey was saved by his wife Julie who donated one of her kidneys to give her husband a new lease on life.—Author

Stay Aubrey documentary is not about fame, although it includes famous names and faces. It is also not about music, although music runs through it from start to finish. It is a story about desperation, hope, love and new beginning with an uncertain trajectory. This may not be the first film ever made about a musician's struggle, nor is it the first about unconditional love and sacrifice, but Stay Aubrey is a powerful documentary film about a musician's struggle with illness, a wife's unconditional love and selflessness, and various other stories that weave the message of this film, and follow the rhythm of a drummer's tale!—Anonymous
