The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

“Discover what you are made of”

Deborah Lacks (Oprah Winfrey) never knew her mother, Henrietta (Renée Elise Goldsberry), who died of cervical cancer in the early 1950s, and she has spent her life wanting answers. Rebecca Skloot (Rose Byrne), a writer chasing the same story, comes to her door, and George C. Wolfe follows the two women as they dig into what happened. Henrietta's cells became the first immortal human cell line, and her family was never told.
