Na Lorgairean Aillse (The Cancer Detectives)

The story of how the life-saving cervical cancer test became an ordinary part of women's lives and the coalition of people who ultimately made it possible. The campaign to make pap smears available to millions of women required nothing short of a total national mobilisation across America. This documentary recounts the untold story of the first-ever war on cancer, and the people who fought tirelessly to beat what was once the number one cancer killer of women

Na Lorgairean Aillse (The Cancer Detectives) airs on BBC Alba at 10:00 PM, Sunday 26 January. (Subtitles, repeat.)
