A MILD TOUCH OF CANCER

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

​​

David Downs had just months to live when he entered a clinical trial of an innovative cancer treatment in the U.S. Within weeks, he was in complete remission, and two years later he is deemed cured. Now, he has dedicated himself to helping others facing their own cancer journeys. We follow their stories of life and death.
