We are delighted to share that Shades of Survival (a powerful new feature-length documentary exploring inequities in breast cancer outcomes for Black women) will premiere at this year’s Cambridge Film Festival.
The film highlights both the systemic challenges in healthcare and the resilience of those driving change. It features contributions from clinicians and researchers at the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), including Professor Jean Abraham, Dr Georgette Oni, Professor Charlotte Coles, and Dr Sigourney Bonner, who share their insights into breast cancer inequalities in the UK and globally.
Fittingly, the premiere coincides with both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Black History Month, underscoring the importance of intersectional conversations about health, equity, and representation.
Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with David Ayeni (Director), Victoria Ekanoye (Anchor and Executive Producer), and Dr Georgette Oni (Breast Cancer Surgeon, CUH). Representatives from the team will also be present to share information and advice about breast cancer awareness and related research initiatives.
