Synopsis:
Taking its title from the widely cited statistic that one in two people will develop cancer during their lifetime, this documentary from director David Nicholas Wilkinson, whose earlier documentary Getting Away with Murder(s) was named among The Guardian's best films of 2021, examines the human reality behind that figure. Drawing on medical expertise and personal testimony, the film explores what the statistic means for patients, families and the wider healthcare system tasked with confronting it, premiering at the Galway Film Fleadh.
Review:
A sobering, humanely told documentary that grounds a stark statistic in real, personal testimony, continuing director David Nicholas Wilkinson's track record of socially engaged non-fiction filmmaking.
