Join the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center's Office of Community Outreach & Engagement for a film viewing followed by a dinner and panel discussion of the latest prostate cancer prevention and care. The Black Walnut is an award-winning, compelling and innovative docudrama designed to increase awareness of the alarming prostate cancer disparity impacting Black men. Featuring nine actual prostate cancer survivors, a urologist and a medical oncologist in dramatic roles, the film explores the myriad of barriers Black men encounter in securing healthcare. Black men are more likely to develop prostate cancer than white men and the film aims to encourage men to prioritize their health.
At this event, participants will have the opportunity to:
View The Black Walnut film and meet the writer and producer Terrance Afer-Anderson.
Connect and have a discussion with a panel of local prostate-focused physicians and survivors who will provide suggestions on how to address some of the significant barriers and disparities the Black community faces regarding prostate cancer.
Receive and have access to educational resources and free PSA screenings via blood draw.
