Cancer: a word that strikes fear into many hearts. Yet, in her well-researched and wittily hopeful narrative, survivor Meghan O’Hara—known for her Oscar-nominated work on films like “Bowling for Columbine,” “Fahrenheit 9/11,” and “Sicko”—challenges our perception of this daunting illness. She argues that it’s time to shift the fear from ourselves to cancer itself. After her own diagnosis, O’Hara connected with neurologist Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, who faced brain cancer while studying the disease. Together, they delve into everyday Western habits responsible for 70% of cancer fatalities, such as smoking, consuming processed foods, stress, exposure to pollutants, and inactivity. With narration and executive production by Morgan Freeman, “The C Word” offers a candid examination of our passive acceptance of cancer culture, introduces the dynamic individuals revolutionizing the fight, and highlights the resources we already possess to combat this formidable adversary. -TCFF database
