Today's picks for civic nerds
For Today
Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Siddhartha Mukherjee, Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies examines the ins and outs of disease by merging the perspectives of a cellular biologist, a historian, and a biographer. Tuesday's screening will give people a chance to preview the film before its three-part premiere on KCTS starting March 30.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Barak Goodman and local cancer specialists on the impact of the disease, the film's impact, and what we can do about it in Puget Sound. Learn more about the series online at KCTS, and make sure to register beforehand.
Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, Tues, Mar 17, 7pm, Town Hall Seattle, 1119 Eighth Ave, Free with registration
