ACS CAN partnered with award-winning filmmaker Ky Dickens to create a series of short films. These shorts dive into the stories of community members and health professionals sharing their challenges and triumphs as they strive to take care of themselves, their families and their communities.
We encourage individuals and organizations to host screenings of any of the films. To help you host a screening, you can use our Screening Toolkit, as well as specific suggested discussion guides for faith groups, social workers and patient navigators, hospitals, and cancer centers.
