Summary:
Spurred by a personal tragedy, America₂s foremost documentarian is tackling cancer. Ken Burns examines cancer with a cellular biologist₂s precision, a historian₂s perspective, and a biographer₂s passion. The series artfully weaves three different films in one: a riveting historical documentary; an engrossing and intimate verite film; and a scientific and investigative report.
