Immerse yourself in a story that explores our complex relationship with the sun - the good, the bad and the ugly. Conquering Skin Cancer (Australia) follows the remarkable stories of famous Aussies and change-makers as they seek to conquer skin cancer, a preventable disease that impacts two in every three of us.

Featuring Hugh Jackman, Cate Campbell, Deborah Hutton, Costa Giorgiadis, Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, and Australians of the Year Prof Georgina Long & Prof Richard Scolyer.

Conquering Skin Cancer (Australia) is not your average documentary; it's a compelling social-impact film with a mission to prevent skin cancer.

Australians have changed the world. We've invented polymer bank notes, the electronic pacemaker, the Hills hoist and the black box flight recorder. And now Australia is number one for skin cancer. Perhaps we didn't invent it, but it's becoming the cancer Australia is world-famous for. And yet many Aussies still don't understand the danger of excess UV exposure.

The WHO predicts that there will be a 68% increase in deaths from melanoma by 2040. But this is not set in stone. Although Australia has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world (Cancer Council); most skin cancers can be prevented.

This crowd-pleasing, multi-award-winning film calls for an unprecedented push in prevention, greater access to life-saving care, and crucial investments in cutting-edge treatments and research.

Conquering Skin Cancer (Australia) features prominent and beloved voices in this important space, including Hugh Jackman, 2024 Australians of the Year Professors Richard Scolyer and Georgina Long, Australian media icon Deborah Hutton, Olympic Champion Cate Campbell, and World Champion Surfer Wayne 'Rabbit' Bartholomew.

The film also spotlights amazing activists such as Jay Allen (Australian Skin Cancer Foundation), Tamara Dawson (Melanoma and Skin Cancer Advocacy Network), Scott Maggs (Skin Check Champions) and Anne Gately (Author, 'Sunburnt'); who candidly share their inspirational stories in the pursuit of positive change.
