The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

The Father’s Group introduces the 2022 “A Night Out With The Father’s Group” Film Series. Each month we will show an important film or documentary series featuring black actors, directors, composers. We will be showing these films in partnership with Open Space Event Studios.

The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks tells the story of Henrietta Lacks (Renée Elise Goldsberry), an African-American woman whose cells were used to create the first immortal human cell line.

Told through the eyes of her daughter, Deborah Lacks (Oprah Winfrey), the film chronicles her search, aided by journalist Rebecca Skloot (Rose Byrne), to learn about the mother she never knew and to understand how the unauthorized harvesting of Lacks’ cancerous cells in 1951 led to unprecedented medical breakthroughs, changing countless lives and the face of medicine forever.
