The Cancer Story You Haven’t Been Told
And a new trailer for the documentary film
BEYOND BREAKTHROUGH: The Shift in Cancer Care
What if the biggest breakthrough in cancer wasn’t a drug or a device but a new way of thinking?
Synopsis
For more than 50 years, cancer research has focused on finding a single, silver-bullet cure - a breakthrough drug or device to eradicate the disease. But what if that search has taken us down the wrong path? Beyond Breakthrough: The Shift in Cancer Care explores the growing movement of scientists, doctors, and patients who are challenging the conventional model and reimagining what healing really means. From integrative and personalised medicine to metabolic therapies and bioelectricity, this eye-opening documentary reveals a quiet revolution - one that dares to ask not just how to kill cancer, but how to change the conditions in which it thrives. As the world waits for a cure, a new way forward is already taking shape.

I’m delighted to say that the editing of the film is about 85% complete but I still need to raise $4,200 to finish the film. Please help if you can. Any amount makes a difference.

8 Reasons Beyond Breakthrough Will Change How You See Cancer
What we've believed about cancer’s genetic origins has been misguided for over half a century?
A forgotten theory from nearly a century ago is quietly reshaping how leading scientists understand cancer.
Unlikely substances, hiding in plain sight, may hold surprising power in the fight against cancer.
A little-known connection between pregnancy and cancer may reveal one of the biggest therapeutic blind spots in medicine.
What if the most dangerous cells in cancer are the ones our conventional treatments can’t touch?
Could bioelectricity, not genes, be the real master switch behind how cells divide, mutate, or heal?
Ancient practices and natural therapies may work in ways modern science is only just beginning to explain.
What if the real breakthrough isn’t a miracle drug - but a radically different story about what cancer actually is?
The Interviewees
Dr. Taufiq Binjemain - Dr. Shankara Chetty - Dr. Lenny Da Costa - Dr. Benjamin George - Dr. Paramjit Kaur - Prof. Paul Marik - Prof. Gerald Pollack - Dr. Vijaendreh Subramaniam - Prof. Adlina Suleiman
Beyond Breakthrough features a remarkable lineup of physicians, researchers, and clinicians from around the world who bring both credibility and courage to the film’s central questions. Together, they offer a rare global perspective on the future of cancer treatment.
Among them are frontline doctors like Dr. Shankara Chetty, Dr. Taufiq Binjemain, and Dr. Lenny Da Costa, who have challenged conventional thinking through clinical experience and patient-centered care.
At the core of the film’s scientific authority are three particularly distinguished figures. Professor Paul Marik is one of the most published critical care physicians in the world, widely known for his leadership in evidence-based medicine and innovative treatment protocols. Professor Gerald Pollack, a pioneering researcher at the University of Washington, has spent decades exploring the fourth phase of water—a discovery with profound implications for cellular health and cancer biology. Dr. Vijaendreh Subramaniam, a senior consultant gynae‐oncologist who for the most part of his career practiced conventional cancer treatments including surgery. Their participation not only elevates the film’s scientific foundation but signals the urgency of reevaluating long-held assumptions about how we understand and treat cancer.
Director’s Statement
Cancer is a deeply human story. In making Beyond Breakthrough, I set out to uncover the science and suppressed possibilities that mainstream medicine often overlooks. This film isn’t about rejecting conventional treatment but about expanding the conversation to include what has long been marginalised.
For decades, the dominant cancer narrative has been defined by a seek and destroy paradigm. Identify a culprit, target it, destroy it. But cancer is not an invader. It is, in many ways, a breakdown of the body’s internal balance. Through interviews with leading scientists and doctors, Beyond Breakthrough exposes a large body of evidence suggesting that our current medical system may be missing not just one piece of the puzzle, but the entire framework.
As an independent filmmaker, I know from firsthand experience how difficult it is to tell stories that challenge entrenched scientific and commercial interests. This film is being made without corporate funding or pharmaceutical sponsorship. That independence allowed me to ask the harder questions, such as: What if the most promising innovations in cancer care aren’t getting the attention, or the funding, they deserve? What if healing requires not just attacking disease, but restoring health?
The implications are staggering. The number of people receiving a cancer diagnosis is increasing year on year. This film provides extremely important information to patients. Information that even their doctor, in most cases, is unaware of. The film could change the course of medicine. Offering millions more gentle, more effective treatment options.
Beyond Breakthrough is not a promise of a cure. It is an invitation to doctors, scientists, patients, and everyday people to look again. To imagine what cancer care could become if we dared to break through the limitations of the current model.
I’m asking you to help make this happen and be a part of this change, either by contributing financially or helping to spread this information to everyone you know.
Thank you!
