We will witness a Ken Burns produced story of Cancer. A story of war which spans centuries and continents. A scientific story, but also a deeply human one of doctors, researchers and especially patients who through courage, suffering, and occasional hubris, pushed the boundaries of knowledge. The film interweaves a sweeping historical narrative with intimate tales of contemporary patients and an investigation into the latest scientific breakthroughs that may have brought us, at long last, to the brink of lasting cures. The film will be serialized to meet the time requirements of S.A.I.L. classes. The course will be facilitated by Dr. Joel Sturman.
