Pink Ribbons, Inc.

[rbnyc]

I remember reading about this film a while ago and I was very interested in it then. After all this Komen nonsense, I remembered it and really wanted to see it. I'm excited that my independent community cinema will be playing it soon.

Léa Pool’s devastating documentary about the industry and “culture” around breast cancer, addresses the rise of corporate involvement in fund-raising for charities (as one activist describes it “cause marketing”) like Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the impact it has had on research into the disease. Powerful and incendiary, the film is an important and timely piece from one of our finest filmmakers.

Has anyone seen it?

4. October = the blanket of pink marketing tied to breast cancer awareness month.

I dislike the color pink in general and October is a long month for me.


eta to answer the OP: Haven't seen it but looking forward to doing so.

6. Thanks

I like pink so it doesn't stand out to me the way it probably does to you and others like you. Now Valentine's Day colors = red & pink together - yuk, and depressing Easter colors - bleh, these I could do without. lol

3. Is it good or bad?

"...like Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the impact it has had on research into the disease.'

I'm going to wonder until I find out.
