About the Project

This intimate documentary follows journalist and breast cancer survivor Athena Jones as she investigates why Black women have the highest death rate from the disease and explores whether they could benefit from a different screening strategy. Her push for equity in healthcare is part of her family's multigenerational fight for civil rights and comes amid a growing backlash against efforts to acknowledge and remedy the effects of racism on health in America.
