A new documentary spotlighting a pivotal campaign to secure funding for lobular breast cancer research is set to premiere at this year’s 33rd Raindance Film Festival in London.

Titled ‘Our Journey with Lobular Breast Cancer’, the important feature-length film tells the story of the Lobular Moon Shot Project, launched in 2023 by Dr. Susan Michaelis. The campaign has gained support from 365 Members of Parliament, forming a majority in the House of Commons, who are seeking to back a five-year, £20 million research programme into invasive lobular breast cancer, the second most common type of breast cancer in the UK.
