When Namrata Singh Gujral lost two aunts to breast cancer, the young Indo-American actress realized that she might be at high risk. But in 2008 Gujral got the phone call that every woman dreads: You have breast cancer. Furious with the toll that cancer takes around the world, and terrified for herself and her nine year old daughter, Gujral decided to turn her harrowing journey into a positive outcome. She launched the film 1 a Minute while going through her third chemotherapy treatment, when a support group survivor remarked on how celebrities led charmed lives, while others got the hard road. Narrated by Kelly McGillis (Top Gun), "1 a Minute" is an unprecedented push by global celebrity women to help raise funds for a cure, promote awareness and prevention as well as support survivors of women's cancers. The film follows a woman's journey through cancer with a focus on breast cancer, the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. (official distributor synopsis)
