Awhile back we wrote about the documentary, “Libby, Montana” that aired on PBS. Since then, the documentary has garnered rave reviews for its intimacy, perception, sense of humor and mostly, for the genuine voice it gives the people of Libby. The documentary is now in the running for an Emmy in the “Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story—Long Form” category.

The film, made in 2004 by High Plains Films’ Doug Hawes Davis and Drury Gunn Carr is about the town that was brought to its knees by asbestos poisoning and then embroiled in the battles with W.R. Grace Corporation and the EPA that followed.

Mike Skoler, CEO, of The Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC speaks about the need for a comprehensive community resource center, such as the MesoRC, that allows victims of Mesothelioma and other asbestos related cancers to obtain information, resources, and support from leading mesothelioma authorities.

Furthermore, the MesoRC acts as a 'true' community by allowing victims and their families to connect with others through a discussion forum, read up-to-date news and developments on the blog, and even speak with a licensed social worker.

Tonight at 9:00 ET, PBS will air a two-hour special by Emmy-winning filmmaker Linda Garmon. The 90-minute documentary will be followed by a half-hour panel discussion.

The special, The Truth About Cancer, seeks to answer: How far have we come in the fight against cancer?

According to the PBS wesbite, the film is "part science, part personal catharsis, part character-driven storytelling." It is narrated by Garmon, who tells the moving story of her husband's battle with mesothelioma. In the film, Garmon visits her husband's treatment centers, exposes the truth about cancer survival rates, and addresses the difficult decisions associated with terminal cancers.

Beyond Garmon's husband, the film features stories from other cancer patients and health-care professionals. According to a New Jersey newspaper article, the content is shocking, thought-provoking, upsetting, and heart-warming all at once. Garmon says, "In sharing my husband's story and the stories of other patients, I hope to shed light on [the truth about cancer]." The film is the third installment of PBS' Take One Step series.
