À propos de ce contenu audio

 What would you do if you learned your DNA carried a mutation that gave you up to an 85% lifetime risk of breast cancer? That’s the impossible decision at the heart of Love, Danielle, the first scripted feature film to explore the very real struggles of living with a BRCA gene mutation. In this episode, we are joined by Devin Sidell, the film’s co-writer, producer, and lead actress, who brings her own BRCA1 journey to the screen, and Amy Byer Shainman, the BRCA Responder, a patient advocate and producer of the film. Together, we explore the science of BRCA mutations, the personal impact of hereditary cancer, and how storytelling can transform the way we understand genetics and health. Breast cancer awareness month starts next week which is perfect timing as for Love, Danielle will be released in North America on October 3, 2025! You can watch it on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and many more digital platforms.
