Jim Allison: Breakthrough (90'), Bill Haney, United States
Jim Allison: Breakthrough is the astounding, true story of one warmhearted, stubborn man’s visionary
quest to find a cure for cancer. Today, Jim Allison is a name to be reckoned with throughout the scientific
world — a 2018 Nobel Prize winner for discovering the immune system’s role in defeating cancer — but for
