Vicky Phelan is a household name across Ireland, and a national treasure thanks to her relentless fight for justice while battling a devastating diagnosis.
It was through her own bravery and motivation to fight her cervical cancer diagnosis, which was given to her in 2014, that the wheels were set in motion on the runaway train that became one of the biggest outrages in Irish medical history. While the documentary title only carries Vicky's name - the fearless fighter who became the beacon for justice - it is a tribute to the wives, mums, sisters, friends and daughters whose lives were cut short by the reporting of 'false negatives.'
"I'm living my life as if I'm going to be here. I'm not living my life as if I'm going to die," she says. Vicky's ability to bolster your human instinct to seek justice even amid the most upsetting moments of her story was palpable in the room, and while you should still probably bring a handkerchief for the moments of sorrow that the film expertly navigates, prepare to feel rage as you walk out of that darkened screen.
