When Covid-19 restrictions kept the Dragon’s Den-inspired competition from taking place in person, Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation partnered with Hemmings House Pictures to let the show go on.
This year, the hospital foundation’s medical research competition, aka Lion’s Den, is coming back in the form of a film. The movie will focus on the behind-the-scenes journey of three teams of medical professionals competing to win half a million-dollar prize to fund their project.
