YouTube Description:
Billions of dollars have been raised through the tireless efforts of women and men devoted to putting an end to breast cancer. Yet, breast cancer rates in North America have risen to 1 in 8. "What's going on?" asks Barbara Brenner in Pink Ribbons, Inc. a new film coming in 2012. This feature documentary visits some of the massive fundraising runs and questions where the money goes and asks 'who really profits from pink ribbon campaigns?'. We meet women with metastatic breast cancer from the IV League support group of Austen, Texas who openly tell us their stories. For more information:

The timing for this documentary couldn't be better - what a tremendous pink shit storm
siftbotsays...Moving this video to dag's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
moodoniasays...*promote
I've wondered about this since hearing a discussion about the money and attention associated with breast cancer versus other "neglected" cancers.
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by moodonia.
