One hundred and eighty-two thousand women will contract breast cancer this year. Forty-one thousand will die from it. Every eleven minutes we will lose another woman to the disease. This documentary film makes these statistics real by following one woman who is diagnosed, treated and recovers from breast cancer. Robin demands to know why she got breast cancer, posing questions about her exposure to environmental toxins. Her intimate story brings the visually hidden experience of breast cancer to light, and motivates us to ask; Why so much illness? and why don't we know how to stop it?
