DESCRIPTION
Conquering Cervical Cancer dares you to imagine the seemingly unthinkable - what if we could conquer cancer?
Featuring powerful stories from survivors, insights from highly regarded experts, and a call to action from activists worldwide, Conquering Cervical Cancer is a groundbreaking documentary with a soaring ambition: to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer worldwide. Travelling across the USA from Alabama to Texas, and New York to Washington DC, and across the world from Australia to Malaysia, Zambia to the USA, Colombia to Switzerland, Conquering Cervical Cancer tells a global health story and a story of health disparity in the USA.
At a time when cervical cancer is on the brink of elimination but more than 300,000 women are still lost to the preventable disease each year, governments across the world must prioritise cervical cancer control. In 2018, the World Health Organization called for global action to end cervical cancer this century. By doing so, it is estimated that 62 million lives could be saved.
Conquering Cervical Cancer introduces us to the inspiring medical professionals championing the global push to eliminate cervical cancer; the policymakers who are bringing prevention programs to their regions; and the women who have faced cervical cancer head-on and have emerged ready to take action against this disease.
Deeply moving, thought-provoking, and endlessly inspiring; this film is essential viewing that will quickly become your go-to topic of conversation.

- Director-General of the WHO; Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
