Alice – A Fight For Life (original) (raw)

Alice – A Fight For Life is a documentary featuring 47-year-old Alice Jefferson, a British woman who developed malignant pleural mesothelioma thirty years after working for nine months at Cape Insulation's Acre Mill asbestos plant in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. The film also explored the health issues surrounding the manufacture and use of asbestos products. Described by The Guardian newspaper as "a momentous film", the programme also explicitly linked asbestos with cancer, and attacked what it perceived as the government's complacency in limiting the manufacture and use of asbestos in Britain.
