Description
Somewhere in the world, a woman dies of Breast Cancer, EVERY
minute! ~Global Stars come together for Breast Cancer Docu-Drama~
When Namrata Singh Gujral lost two aunts to breast cancer,
the young Indo-American actress realized that she might be at high
risk. But in 2008 Gujral got the phone call that every woman dreads:
You have breast cancer. Furious with the toll that cancer takes
around the world, and terrified for herself and her nine year old
daughter, Gujral decided to turn her harrowing journey into a
positive outcome. She launched the film "1 a Minute" while going
through her third chemotherapy treatment, when a support group
survivor remarked on how celebrities led charmed lives, while others
got the hard road.
Produced by Uniglobe Entertainment and
narrated by Kelly McGillis (Top Gun), "1 a Minute" is an
unprecedented push by global celebrity women to help raise funds for
a cure, promote awareness and prevention as well as support
survivors of women's cancers. The film follows a woman's journey
through cancer with a focus on breast cancer, the most frequently
diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. At each stage of her journey,
our stars, who are survivors or affected closely by cancer, jump in
and recount their experiences. The film is a hybrid between
narrative structure and documentary style with interweaves
throughout the picture, with stories of "Hope, Courage and
Survival"!
The film stars Olivia Newton-John (Grease),
Jaclyn Smith (Charlie's Angels), Namrata Singh Gujral
(Americanizing Shelley), Melissa Etheridge (An Inconvenient Truth),
Diahann Carroll (Claudine), Lisa Ray (Water), Barbara Mori (Kites),
Mumtaz (Hare Rama Hare Krishna), brothers Billy Baldwin (Backdraft)
and Danny Baldwin (VAMPIRE$), Jasmine Cooper (whose mothers are
survivors) and Priya Dutt, whose mother, the famous Bollywood star
Nargis Dutt (Mother India), died of cancer. The doc also covers
interviews with top Western Oncologists such as Dr. Dennis Slamon
(Research led to Herceptin), top Eastern medicine practitioners such
as Dr. Deepak Chopra as well as experts like Ambassador Nancy G.
Brinker (WHO).
