About The Show

BREATH OF HOPE: Lung Cancer The Invisible Disease is an hour-long documentary seeking to educate the public  about lung cancer – in particular non-small cell lung cancer.

Through five poignant patient stories in five different  states across the U.S., viewers witness the struggles and  triumphs of lung cancer patients and their families.

The documentary also explores new therapies on the horizon and the latest genetic markers that may offer hope for extending survival.

Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning American actress S. Epatha Merkerson, best known as Lt. Anita Van Buren on the long-running television crime drama Law & Order, hosts the documentary. Merkerson lost two friends to lung cancer and helped her sister fight her way to a cure.

The program will air on Public Television.
