Ken Burns and PBS wanted a series of short films that would tell personal stories of the impact of Cancer on people’s lives. Here is the series we created.

Ken Jeong’s breakout role in The Hangover was insane, hilarious and made him an instant comedic legend. But there was nothing funny about what motivated his performance. Ken's wife, Tran, had just been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.. The role, which he almost didn't take, became a place for him to funnel his rage and fear and..."to make his wife laugh". This short film tells their cancer story.
