First Weekend Club which celebrates a new Canadian film every month as part of their Canada Screens initiative is back in February with a powerful documentary called Pink Ribbons Inc.
Pink Ribbons, Inc. looks at the pervasive impact of breast cancer fundraising. Every year, millions of dollars are raised, but where does all the money go, and what is actually achieved? The film offers a completely different take on the pink ribbon “success” story that has overtaken North America, with insight from leading doctors, activists and social critics, as well as women diagnosed with breast cancer.
