Laetrile: The Controversial Cancer Treatment Banned in the U.S

This documentary examines laetrile, the controversial substance derived from apricot pits that has been banned in the United States since 1963. Deemed ineffective by the FDA yet still legal across the border in Mexico, it draws desperate patients seeking an alternative cancer treatment. The film weighs hope, evidence and regulation, exploring why people turn to a therapy mainstream medicine rejects. It is a nuanced look at the fraught world of unapproved cancer cures.
