Death Wish: The Untold Story

Synopsis: What makes life possible is death, and lots of it. Every cell in the body is prepared to die, to sacrifice itself for the body’s good. This ‘suicide programme’ is the natural healing mechanism that protects us from cancer. This film follows the trail of chance discoveries, accidents and revelations which have brought this idea and its creators from obscurity to the cutting edge of biological and medical research.
