Synopsis
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Samsung's support to FECMA (Spanish Breast Cancer Federation) we have developed a project with which we want to recognize and support the commitment and hard work of all breast cancer fighters.
'Breast Cancer War Correspondents' is a documentary created as a result of the collaboration of the Spanish war photojournalist Manu Brabo (Pulitzer Prize 2013). The figure of Manu Brabo will propitiate the narrative as a driving axis and link to the concept of war. His own personal war in different conflict situations, his fragility and vulnerability in the face of it, will allow him to empathize, understand and translate this conflict for those viewers who have not experienced cancer firsthand. He is our speaker.
We understand war as an opposition, rivalry or hostility between opponents, who try to impose themselves on each other. In this way, we will try to introduce in the plans with everyday language, certain traces of their particular war against cancer. Thus being a confrontation between the usual reality of the protagonists and this new reality or fracture in their lives that the disease imposes on them.
All the images were captured from the eyes of someone who has lived the battle of many people. An initiative around the Spanish geography to know and show the life that surrounds women, doctors, researchers and families.
War correspondents against breast cancer. Covering the battles that are not in the newspapers.
