What I Do Not Know Will Not Kill Me
In Africa’s biggest economy, a silent killer is causing thousands of avoidable deaths. Aisha, a gynaecologist who survived cervical cancer actively fights for the lives of other cancer patients.
In Nigeria, 8000 women die of cervical cancer annually. Dr. Aisha Mustapha, a pioneering obstetrician gynaecologist operating in Northern Nigeria, is one of the few leading the charge against this preventable disease. After surviving cervical cancer herself, she now devotes her life to treating and educating women affected by it. With nearly 80% of women contracting HPV at some point, and a critical window for treatment, the film becomes a powerful call to action: advocating for HPV vaccinations, regular screenings, and the destigmatisation of women’s health. Through the inspiring story of Dr. Aisha and the women she serves, the film explores the barriers to accessing care and the need for more inclusive, supportive healthcare systems. What I Do Not Know Will Not Kill Me is a story of resilience, strength and hope, championing a future where knowledge, empowerment and action, not silence, saves lives.
