Probasco Auditorium
2839 Clifton Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45220
Join the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center's Office of Community Outreach & Engagement for a film viewing followed by a dinner and panel discussion of the latest prostate cancer prevention and care. The Black Walnut is an award-winning, compelling and innovative docudrama designed to increase awareness of the alarming prostate cancer disparity impacting Black men. Featuring nine actual prostate cancer survivors, a urologist and a medical oncologist in dramatic roles, the film explores the myriad of barriers Black men encounter in securing healthcare. Black men are more likely to develop prostate cancer than white men and the film aims to encourage men to prioritize their health.
