The Rome Film Fest premiered the docuseries "Distances – Life Goes On, Further Away," produced by Novartis in collaboration with Salute Donna Onlus. The series focuses on the topic of breast cancer and features six women of different ages and backgrounds, all sharing the same diagnosis. In "Distances," each woman tells her own story, showing how their lives continue beyond the disease, celebrating their unique identity and strength.
'It's Time to Live' Campaign
The docuseries is part of the campaign 'It's Time for Life', which aims to provide emotional, informative and practical support to patients with breast cancer. It does not limit itself to addressing the clinical issue, but explores the effects of the disease on all aspects of life: physical, emotional and relational. Through the experiences of the six protagonists, the viewer is guided on a journey of discovery of the resilience and personal growth of these women.
A personalized and integrated approach
With over 830.000 women living with a diagnosis of breast cancer in Italy, and an annual incidence of approximately 55.900 new cases, breast cancer remains one of the main health challenges. However, thanks to advances in scientific research and therapies, 5-year survival from diagnosis has reached 88%. Professor Alessandra Fabi explains the importance of a holistic approach to the disease, which addresses not only the clinical aspect, but also the emotional and relational well-being of patients. 'Distances' represents a starting point to promote dialogue and accompany women on a journey of rediscovery and hope. The docuseries is available on the official website and on the campaign's social platforms, offering a tool for support and empowerment for all women facing this challenge.
