The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Several people with “skin like mine” felt the way I did when I watched the movie.
Her cells have contributed to nearly every area of medical research.
She's helped save countless women from the disease that killed her.
She is making sure we know, and never forget, Lacks' story through a new film on her life.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The world wouldn't be the same had it not been for Henrietta.
The movie tells the true story of the Lacks family's efforts to obtain justice for their late mother.
She thinks it could be told a "different way."
