In the 1950's, survival rates from cancer of any kind were low. Damaging surgery and unsophisticated radiotherapy were the main treatments, assuming the disease was detected in time for anything to be done. Cervical cancer was often asymptomatic until it was well advanced, and by that time, it was often a death sentence. This dramatic story of the fight against cervical cancer revolves around three main characters: Dr. Papanicolaou, a Greek immigrant whose single-minded pursuit of the development of a diagnostic test saved hundreds of thousands of women; Hashime Murayama, the exquisitely talented artist who became National Geographic's first inhouse illustrator, but because of his Japanese heritage, was fired, interned in a WWII camp, then released to work on the project; and Helen Dickens, a groundbreaking Black female surgeon, who overcame deep distrust between the Black community and medical professionals to save the lives of thousands of women. The work of these three true life savers slashed death rates of this previously unfightable cancer by more than 60 percent.
This thought-provoking and charged inquiry takes viewers on a journey spanning three continents, with broad implications for cancer patients, as a young American woman travels with a Canadian researcher, Israeli scientist and English surgeon to undergo a potentially life-saving experiment in India.

For an inmate, prison gates often feel like a revolving door, releasing then trapping them inside a dangerous world where they lose autonomy, navigate constant threats, and learn to survive by unwritten rules. Upon release, they face a life that has rapidly advanced. To succeed, they must make positive daily decisions and secure gainful employment despite having a felony record. Old temptations often lure them back, offering quick, easy money. Prison recidivism is one of the most daunting challenges in the United States. Of the 650,000 individuals released annually, 82 percent are re-incarcerated within a decade, with 43 percent returning within the first year. In South Carolina, the non-profit Turn 90 offers a groundbreaking re-entry program designed for violent offenders. It provides a supportive path that works to break the cycle of re-incarceration. TURNING POINT is a compelling, hour-long documentary that explores this innovative approach to helping men succeed after they complete their time in prison. Through intimate profiles of current participants and successful graduates, the film delves into the transformative journey of the formerly incarcerated as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of reintegration.
