Pink Ribbons, Inc.

Raising money to fight breast cancer is a big business, the subject of Pink Ribbons, Inc., a documentary we saw Sunday afternoon at the Orpheum. The film explores the many ways that the Komen organization raises money for breast cancer research, and the effects it has had on the culture of breast cancer victims in particular and American society in general. It also raises a few uncomfortable questions about how the Komen organization frames its mission of raising money for breast cancer. Whether you think it’s good or bad, this movie is worth a look. Four out of five.
