<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Released in the cinema as part of Maggie’s Cancer Centre 30th Anniversary </span>celebrations. We're delighted to welcome the film's director and other special guests for a Q&A after the film. Filmed partly at Maggie's West London, Charing Cross Hospital. Most box office revenue will go to this important local charity. </div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Nearly one in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives. </span>David Nicholas Wilkinson is one of them, twice over. In 2020, a colonoscopy found his bowel to be extremely healthy for a man his age. In 2023, a FIT test came back clear and, like almost everyone who takes one, he assumed that meant the all-clear. In 2024, a second colonoscopy found bowel cancer. Stage 4. He was told his tumour was 5-6 years old. What went wrong? A FIT test looks for blood. Wilkinson’s tumour never bled. Nor do a great many others.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">1 IN 2 follows Wilkinson through his own treatment, where he discovers a steep rise </span>in bowel cancer among people far too young to be screened for it, and far too young, it seems, to be believed. Among those who tell him their stories is a bowel surgeon whose own symptoms were dismissed by her oncologist colleagues and in part by herself because she was only 44.</div><div><br></div><div>Bowel cancer is very insidious; it often strikes with few or no symptoms. One of the participants, an NHS nurse specialising in colonoscopies, had only one symptom: anxiety. 1 IN 2 attempts to flag up early signs because the one thing no one wants is to end up like director David Nicholas Wilkinson, with stage 4 bowel cancer.</div></div>DocumentaryPT2H22M152026-11-14GBenMichelle Amoah
