Developed, Produced, Directed & Filmed

With a party in a Cornish cathedral featuring Dawn French (dressed as a vicar), Fearne Cotton, a cardboard coffin, and hundreds of friends, Kris Hallenga’s 'FUN-eral' (living funeral) is the opening of a documentary that tells the story of Britain’s most famous and vivacious cancer campaigner.

Through unseen home footage and intimate material shot by director Neil Bonner, the film follows Kris from her early years to her very last days. We follow Kris through the highs and lows of multiple treatments while she wins a Pride of Britain Award, discovers how to recruit famous faces into the campaign, gets cancer awareness onto the school curriculum and saves many lives through early detection.

Kris fundamentally changes the world around her, and all the while she is inseparable from her twin sister and best friend Maren as they face every challenge with refreshing honesty, relentless energy and wicked humour.

The touching and unforgettable story is a heartfelt guide to truly embracing every second of life we are given.
