This documentary could save your life.
CONQUERING SKIN CANCER is a scary but inspiring film, capable of influencing life style change that will serve individuals and society for the better.
CONQUERING SKIN CANCER is a horror movie and one that indirectly lauds the dreaded blood sucker, Dracula. A monster maybe, but at least he was sun smart.
What’s at stake? The ultra violence that ultra violet light perpetrates on our skin. It’s not just leathery, it’s lethal.
Dracula goes for the vein, but another way this film entices us to shun the sun is to go for the vain. Disfigurement and dismemberment can be a lasting legacy of the lesions, so if you want to keep looking good, disdain the tan.
Who want to shave their leg if the skin from a limb has been grafted on to your skull?
Immerse yourself in a story that explores our complex relationship with the sun. Like ancient Egyptians, Aussies have been sun worshippers, but it’s well and truly time to say ta ta to Ra. The way to combat skin cancer is not the riddle of the Sphinx. CONQUERING SKIN CANCER follows the remarkable stories of famous Aussies and change-makers as they seek to conquer skin cancer, a preventable disease that impacts two in every three of us.
CONQUERING SKIN CANCER is not your average documentary; it’s a compelling social impact film with a mission to prevent skin cancer, starring Hugh Jackman, who discusses his personal skin cancer story for the first time on film, together with Olympian Cate Campbell, celebrity icon Deborah Hutton, Australians of the Year Georgina Long & Richard Scolyer, and many, many more.
The film also spotlights amazing activists such as Jay Allen (Australia Skin Cancer Foundation), Tamara Dawson (Melanoma and Skin Cancer Advocacy Network), Scott Maggs (Skin Check Champions) who candidly share their inspirational stories in the pursuit of positive change.
We all have skin in this game. Please, please, please see this film and become part of the conquering heroes to eliminate this preventable scourge.
