The C Word
Synopsis
From executive producer Morgan Freeman and director Meghan O’Hara comes a bold new film and public outreach and action campaign, THE C WORD that dare to say what no one else is: the cure for cancer might be closer than we think. Both deeply personal and nationally vital, the THE C WORD irrevocably (and with a dose of humor) establishes the connection between the current cancer epidemic and our western lifestyle, and offers us real-life accounts, scientific validation, and tangible solutions to lifestyle-related diseases that plague our country.
