The television documentary titled “Prostate Cancer: A Journey of Hope” has won a Telly Award from the Center for Creativity and has been named a finalist for a Freddie Award by Time Inc Health. The hour-long video featuring several M. D. Anderson faculty, prostate cancer patients and their family members aired last June on Public Broadcast Service (PBS) stations nationwide. Production crews visited M. D. Anderson several times to follow physicians and their patients. The film was produced for PBS by Banyan Communications in St. Louis, Missouri. Program topics ranged from detecting prostate cancer early through routine screening tests to the importance of quality-of-life for patients. Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, a prostate cancer survivor himself, narrates the educational documentary. The program addresses the realities of prostate cancer while showing the strength and optimism of patients and their families affected by the disease. Telly Awards have been given for 20 years to outstanding non-television network and cable television materials. More than 11,000 entries were submitted for the 1999 awards. Now in its 25th year, the Freddie Award competition honors films, documentaries and television series on health-related issues that change people’s lives. These awards are sponsored by Time Inc Health, a division of Time Warner.
