Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Richard Lui left his MSNBC anchor chair to make this, becoming the first Asian American man to solo-anchor a national cable news show before walking away for documentary work.
The '100 million Americans' statistic refers not to patients but to families affected — the film deliberately centers the usually erased support system, not the diagnosis itself.
