Description
Summary:	Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are the only options given to Missouri mother, Peri Carter, when she is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. U.S. doctors offer her no hope with only a 3% chance of survival. Unwilling to accept the death sentence handed to her by the U.S. medical system, Peri and her family make the decision to seek alternative treatments in Mexico. Join the Carters and other American cancer patients on this emotional journey as they discover the cancer treatment the U.S. won't allow. The freedom to choose is a powerful human need and we will go to any lengths to gain it, even when we're sick. Witness how the U.S. news media, along with the U.S. government, can destroy a place of hope.
