    Special 1 Teenagers Fighting Cancer

    • 2009-07-06T20:00:00Z1h

    Filmed over nine months, this hour-long documentary goes inside Queen Elizabeth Hospital's Young Person's Unit, a specialised cancer ward in Birmingham, where the young patients undergo months of gruelling treatment in the hope of overcoming their illness.

    How do the teenagers and their friends and families cope with life-threatening conditions? With intimate access to the patients and medical staff, this film tells the poignant stories of three young people thrust together at random by their illness, giving an insight into an aspect of teenage life that is often ignored by the media.

    These young people's heart-wrenching stories provide glimpses of an extraordinarily hopeful approach to life, love, sickness and health.
