Product Description
Time is Life highlights the importance of time in combating the second highest cause of death in the world, cancer. The film also underscores the efforts of the American Cancer Society towards the alleviation, if not elimination, of cancer in the American society. The film starts with Mary Bronson being stressed out with the possibility of having a cancer. Cancer is not given proper attention by the public so it causes insurmountable effects on people in the society. Cancer chooses no one. In addition, the film gives conveying figures on cancer fatalities in the United States saying that one in every eight American has cancer. The film has also mentioned that cancer has killed more Americans than the slaughter at the Pearl Harbor and Tokyo Bay during World War Two. The film also dispels the wrong notions of the public of cancer like it being hereditary and it being a disgrace. It also went as far as saying that cancer could be treated if treatment is done on time, thus supporting the idea of early detection and early treatment as crucial in saving the lives of hundreds of thousands in the United States. The film also supports the significance of scientific research in the prevention and treatment of cancer. It shows the different counseling and awareness programs of the American Cancer Society as a means of combating cancer in the United States. The film campaigns, time is essential in the detection and treatment of cancer. If cancer is prevented, detected and treated at the right moment, time becomes the greatest weapon in the war against cancer. Time means life.
