This is a documentary on Avner Nahmani Pancreatic Cancer Foundation that details the human story behind the research and nursing work now being pursued. As the most lethal cancer, there is often too little that can be done once diagnosed. This story shows how, with the help of the growing community behind pancreatic cancer research, we are on track to double the survival rate by 2020. Written, produced and narrated by Amy Hosking.
