À propos de cet audio
Childhood cancer can be a really difficult topic to sit with, but it’s something a lot of kids and families face. The new TV series “The Unstoppable Jenny Garcia” is putting that story front and centre. The show is about a young Filipino Canadian named Jenny whose life gets thrown upside down when she’s diagnosed with leukemia. Catherine Hernandez is the showrunner. She’s also an award-winning author and screenwriter. Her debut novel, “Scarborough,” was turned into a film that won eight Canadian Screen Awards, including best picture and best adapted screenplay. Catherine joins guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about the series, why it was important for her to tell a story about childhood cancer, and how it affects different families and communities.
