      abstract = {Boasting an exceptional cast and production team, and  based on Rebecca Skloot's critically acclaimed 2010  nonfiction best-seller of the same name, this HBO Films  drama tells the true story of Henrietta Lacks, an  AfricanAmerican woman whose cells were used to create the  first immortal human cell line, known as HeLa. Told  primarily through the eyes of Lack's daughter Deborah  (Oprah Winfrey) and journalist Rebecca Skloot (Rose Byrne),  the film chronicles Deborah's search to learn about the  mother she never knew, and to understand how the  unauthorized harvesting of Lacks' cancerous cells in 1951  led to unprecedented medical breakthroughs, from cancer to  polio to radiation to AIDS, changing countless lives and  the face of medicine forever. With a supporting cast that  includes Ren©♭e Elise Goldsberry, Reg E. Cathey, Courtney  B. Vance, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Leslie Uggams, Reed  Birney, Rocky Carroll and John Douglas Thompson, The  Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a story of medical  arrogance and triumph, race, poverty, and deep friendship  between the unlikeliest of people.},
