Guests: FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered) Amy Byer Shainman, Dr. John Rimmer, and Conni Murphy Topic: The Hollywood Feature Film Decoding Annie Parker, a film based on two remarkable women. Annie Parker is a sharp-witted young woman who watches her mother and sister fall victim to breast cancer. When she is diagnosed with the disease, she believes that her cancer is hereditary and fights back against immeasurable odds. Dr. Mary-Claire King is the Berkeley geneticist whose discovery of the BRCA1 gene and its link to hereditary breast cancer forever changed the understanding of the disease. It is considered one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. With an amazing cast of actors (including Samantha Morton, Helen Hunt, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Schiff), Decoding Annie Parker aligns with FORCE's Mission: To improve the lives of individuals and families affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
