Summary:

When mathematician and broadcaster Hannah Fry is diagnosed with cervical cancer, she deals with it the only way she knows how - by making a documentary. Combining raw and personal footage of Hannah's cancer treatment with her trademark intelligence and curiosity, this is a cancer documentary with a difference. Hannah digs deeper into the numbers behind cancer treatments and questions whether we're being given the full picture. Are we paying enough attention to the side effects, and are we sure of their benefits? When might it be right to say no to treatment? And if she could turn back the hands of time, would Hannah do things differently?
