How a peach ribbon turned pink…
Over the last weeks, the work and finances of Pink Ribbon, the international breast cancer charity, have been much discussed in the Dutch media. As most people know, the discussion got stirred up by the documentary ‘Pink Ribbons, Inc.’ that was screened at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam. In this documentary the practices of Pink Ribbon receive critical scrutiny on many different levels: their campaign with fast food chain KFC, not enough money going into research, their potentially hurtful discourse of cancer ‘survivors’ etc.
