Cancer : the emperor of all maladies
"Based on the book The emperor of all maladies : a biography of cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee."
A Ken Burns film presenting a history of cancer theories and treatments, from ancient times to the present day. Includes not only the medical stuff but the political, legal, activist, and people influences as well.
Very informative. Interesting history including the major players, the trials and errors, the ethical dilemmas, and a bunch of stuff I never knew.
Comes with a warning that this may not be appropriate for all audiences. Some history may be disturbing. Some graphic images may be upsetting.
