    Promise Me
    The Nancy G. Brinker Story
    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    A feature documentary about the untold story of the breast cancer movement — how one woman’s promise to her dying sister sparked a global health revolution.

    SYNOPSIS
    PROMISE ME is a feature-length documentary chronicling the story of Nancy G. Brinker, founder of the Susan G. Komen organization, whose promise to her sister Suzy led to the creation of the most influential breast cancer advocacy movement in history. In an era when breast cancer was rarely discussed publicly, Nancy transformed grief into a global movement that united millions, advanced research, and changed public health policy. Featuring rare archival footage, intimate interviews, and a behind-the-scenes look at the political and cultural battles fought along the way, the film preserves a legacy while inspiring the next generation to carry the mission forward.
