Today, Jim Allison is a name to be reckoned with throughout the scientific world — a 2018 Nobel Prize winner for discovering the immune system’s role in defeating cancer — but for decades he waged a lonely struggle against the skepticism of the medical establishment and the resistance of Big Pharma. (USA, 2019, 90 Mins., PG-13, English | Dir. Bill Haney)
After the film and discussion...
Meet the Author: Jim Allison is featured in the book A Cure Within: Scientists Unleashing the Immune System to Kill Cancer, a collection of profiles of the pioneers who forged the field of immunotherapy.
