Though we do get a bit more context on Henrietta’s life and the kind of person she was, we ultimately find out very little about her other than she was a nice person with a pretty smile. We learn about the abuse she endured after her mother’s death, and the negative effect Henrietta’s death had on her family as a whole. Although the journey seems to start as one of setting out to discover more about Henrietta, it ultimately becomes a story centered around Deborah and her troubled life. Told from Rebecca’s point of view, the two unlikely pals embark on a journey to discover the many mysteries surrounding Henrietta’s life and death.Īfter spending time with Deborah and her tumultuous family, it becomes obvious that the Lacks know very little about their mother. Deborah is distrusting at first, but Rebecca is persistent and slowly but surely is able to gain Deborah’s trust. She attempts to contact Henrietta’s only living daughter, Deborah, who is played by Oprah Winfrey. The plot itself takes place in 1999 when an ambitious and quirky reporter named Rebecca Skloot (Rose Byrne) becomes determined to tell the story of the women behind the famous HeLa cells. Though her cells became famous, the woman behind the cells was never named, and her family was never told the true story behind their mother’s immortal legacy. Henrietta eventually succumbed to the cancer, but her cells went on to help create cures for many illnesses, and sparked a multi-million dollar industry. While receiving treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital, doctors discovered that her cancer cells had a unique ability that allowed them to multiply indefinitely. The film tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, who was diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer in the early 1950’s. Unfortunately, this ambitious adaptation bit off more than it could chew, and fell short in delivering all that it set out to do. The film did shed some much-needed light on a story that was kept hidden for far too long. Any plan switch after redemption of this offer will result in forfeiture of the discount pricing.If there is one thing we learned from The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks (or should I say The Immortal Life of Oprah Winfrey), it’s that the classic saying is true: it’s all about the journey and not the destination.
