KATIE'S NEW FACE: A FAMILY'S JOURNEY Premieres This Saturday, August 25, at 9/8c on National Geographic

(WASHINGTON, D.C. - AUGUST 22 2018) In an exclusive television premiere event this Saturday, August 25, at 9/8c, National Geographic will debut KATIE'S NEW FACE: A FAMILY'S JOURNEY, the poignant story of the journey of Katie Stubblefield, the youngest face transplant recipient in the United States.

"I'm just very thankful to be alive," Katie Stubblefield notes in the documentary. "I get a second chance at life now."

With unprecedented access granted by the Stubblefield family and Cleveland Clinic (where Stubblefield received treatment), National Geographic has exclusively documented a young woman's journey like never before - from life before the transplant, into the operating room and through her recovery period following the transplant, including the heartfelt meeting between Stubblefield and the grandmother of Stubblefield 's donor.

A documentary about science, human identity and hope, KATIE'S NEW FACE: A FAMILY'S JOURNEY reveals the human story behind an incredible scientific and medical feat.
