"It takes a really powerful idea, combined with someone willing to push it forward, to make it happen." Dada Films + Uncommon Productions have revealed the first official trailer for an indie documentary titled Jim Allison: Breakthrough, from filmmaker Bill Haney (Gift of the Game, Racing Against the Clock, A Life Among Whales). This premiered at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, and played at the Seattle Film Festival. After losing his mother to cancer, Jim dedicated his entire life trying to find and develop a working cure. Today, Jim Allison is a name to be reckoned with throughout the scientific world — a 2018 Nobel Prize winner for discovering the immune system's role in defeating cancer but for decades he waged a lonely struggle against the skepticism of the medical establishment and the resistance of Big Pharma. The film takes us "into the heart of a true American pioneer, in a film that is both emotionally compelling and deeply entertaining." Featuring narration by Woody Harrelson. This looks great - more than just a biopic. ›››
