THE C WORD – Cancer Documentary Screens This Weekend at Webster University

THE C WORD screens Friday February 17th through Sunday February 19th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). The movie starts at 7:30 all three evenings. 

Cancer is no laughing matter – but the archaic way we are beating it is! With a dose of good humor, heart, and a touch of rock-n’-roll beat, THE C WORD reveals the forces at play keeping us sick and dares to ask: if up to 70% of cancer deaths are preventable … what are we waiting for? And, in asking the question, director Meghan L. O’Hara reveals astounding truths that no one is talking about on a grand scale — until now. At its heart are powerful, twin stories: one from celebrated French neuroscientist and cancer revolutionary Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, the other from THE C WORD’s own director, and cancer survivor Meghan L. O’Hara. After braving the journey from diagnosis to wellness, Meghan and David join forces on a wild ride of discovery; including hidden science, the absurdity of the status quo, and a vibrant cast of characters changing the game. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, THE C WORD message is simple, life changing, and radical: we can beat cancer before cancer beats us.

The critics love THE C WORD:

Variety calls it:

“An impassioned advocation of preventative cancer treatment that brazenly counters the methods of Big Pharma.”

The L.A. Times says:

“THE C WORD is a trenchant film with a crucial message that bears repeating.”

and CompuServe says:

“this could be the year’s most important film.”
