The C-Word

A film by Meghan O'Hara

It’s time for cancer to be afraid of us

New truths revealed and rock our world when it comes to our understanding and battle against cancer. It’s time for cancer to be afraid of us.

With a dose of good humor, heart, and a touch of rock—n—roll beat, THE C WORD reveals the forces at play keeping us sick and dares to ask: if up to 70% of cancer deaths are preventable…what are we waiting for?

At the heart of THE C WORD are powerful, twin narratives: one from celebrated French neuroscientist and cancer revolutionary Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, the other from THE C WORD’s own director, Meghan L. O’Hara. After braving the journey from diagnosis to wellness, Meghan and David join forces on a wild ride of discovery; including hidden science, the absurdity of the status quo, and a vibrant cast of characters changing the game.

Winner of 7 awards, THE C WORD asks us to reconsider our approach and advocate instead for society—wide lifestyle and systemic changes. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, the message is simple, life—changing, radical: we can beat cancer before cancer beats us.
