About the film

Skin cancer is the world's most common cancer. It's also the most preventable. Yet one person dies from it every four minutes.

Daily sun protection habits, improved detection, and access to treatment could save thousands of American lives every year.

The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that there will be a 68% increase in deaths from melanoma by 2040 unless we act now.

Over one million Americans are living with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, and over 3.5 million new cases of skin cancer were detected in the United States last year.

Almost all cases of skin cancer are caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

That represents an urgent wake-up call about how we reframe our relationship with the sun.

Conquering Skin Cancer is about our relationship with the sun, our environment, and climate change. The film takes the audience on a journey of discovery that will open their eyes to what it means to live safely in a high-UV environment today.
