Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Kartemquin's Emmy-nominated documentary In the Family has a number of screenings this October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The series of screenings in New York City, Chicago and Washington D.C. will encompass some of the most important advocacy and health education issues raised in the film.
In New York, Joanna will screen the documentary and lend her voice to the discussion surrounding the ethics of patenting the BRCA genes at a screening sponsored by Cardozo School of Law & The Public Patent Foundation, and at a screening sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union. She will continue this discussion in Chicago at the American Society of Clinical Pathology Annual Meeting.
