At age 15, Hernan Barangan was diagnosed with Leukemia. Unknown to him at the time, he was one of roughly 70,000 teenagers diagnosed that (and every) year. Just when life was beginning to unfold, he had to battle to keep it. Years later, cancer free and confined to a wheelchair, Hernan began to collect stories about cancer and the young men and women who fought it in their unique ways. With his camera and crew, he set off on The Road Rebellion, an amazing odyssey to all 50 states to meet teens and young adults who have fought, or are fighting, the Big C. CANCER REBELLION is not a film about decay and regret. Hell no. This documentary shows the defiance, bravery, humor, and creativity these warriors bring to the battle. It is a big, beautiful middle-finger thrust right in cancer’s face. With Hernan driving, CANCER REBELLION isn’t just a road trip; it’s a loud, irreverent, and fearless journey into the infinite meanings of life. —C.R.
