Campus-Cinema: The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks

We cordially invite you to our Campus-Cinema

The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks“ (Film 2017; dir. By George C. Wolfe); more info in Wikipedia

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. Her cancer cells - taken without her knowledge - became a multimilliondollar industry and one of the most important tools in medicine. This was without her ever being officially recognized as a donor or her family ever seeing a penny. Rebecca Skloot's fascinating account is the story of the life, and afterlife, of a woman who changed the medical world for ever.

No entrance fee.There will be an opportunity to exchange views at "Wine and Cheese" afterwards, supported by the Society of Friends of the MDC (Freundeskreis).

Looking forward to see you!

Best

Christiane Nolte (for the “Freundeskreis”)

Location:

Campus-Buch, MDC.C Axon
