dustin d @RT12543299 03/01/2022 Pink Ribbons, Inc. exposes the "pink washing" racket that distracts well-meaning people with advocacy for "the cure" to breast cancer while discounting prevention. I learned anything with a pink ribbon on it probably either contains a carcinogen, or is made by a company that knowingly manufactures carcinogens. I disagreed with the premise capitalism is to blame for increasing breast cancer rates--corruption isn't unique to capitalism. However, I do agree we need an answer to why breast cancer has been on the rise since the 1940s. See more 10/29/2017 This movie was interesting in two ways and seriously flawed in the most important ways. It was interesting in that it showed the hysteria and cultural phenomena that is the breast cancer awareness campaign. And it was interesting that it showed how this movement has partly been coopted by corporate interests and those who make money off aligning with them. But it cannot recover from the way that it does not call out the sexist, misleading nature of the movement itself. They act like this is the only major disease and that this disease is more horrible tha others because only women have breasts. But what about prostate cancer which affects and kills just as many men? Or testicular cancer? Isn't it wrong to use sexism to benefit one gender over the other? Who isnt aware of breast cancer? why not lung cancer awareness, colorectal cancer? diabetes. This pink ribbon campaign is a feminist-fueled anti-male campaign that it does not surprise me that some are getting rich from. Why dont we all wear blue for prostate cancer? why dont wa all shave our heads for childhood leukemia. What sheep have we become? these are the important questions that this movie does not question.

See more 09/26/2015 A very telling story that broke at the same time when this movie was released: A director for Komen, the evil money-grubbing profiteer profiled in this smug self-righteous documentary, cut off funding to Planned Parenthood. The people at PP and their allies squealed like stuck pigs when that flow of dirty, capitalist money was cut off. It was restored shortly afterward because of the backlash. The money raised DOES fund a lot of research, if "Pink Ribbons, Inc" would prefer not to have it maybe they can donate all $25K this film grossed to a more acceptable fund.
