Ken Burns, Barak Goodman, Chris Durrance, and Debbie Dickson directed this six-hour PBS documentary series, which adapts Siddhartha Mukherjee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book about cancer. The series traces the disease from its earliest documentation in ancient Egyptian medical texts through centuries of medical history to present-day research facilities. By combining historical context with personal accounts from modern patients and examinations of cutting-edge scientific developments, the filmmakers explore how researchers and physicians have pursued understanding and treatment of cancer across generations.

This three-disc DVD set runs six hours total and carries a PG-13 rating, with narration by Bill Nighy and Edward Herrmann. Released by Ark Media, the documentary investigates the scientific breakthroughs that may bring us closer to effective cures. Owning this used copy lets you explore the full scope of cancer’s history and medicine’s response to it at a fraction of retail cost.
