The documentary BOObs: The War on Women's Breasts examines the controversy surrounding mammography and its impact on women's health. Over 30 years, mammograms led to the over-diagnosis of 1.3 million women, resulting in unnecessary treatments for breast cancers that may not have spread. Women share personal stories of being permanently maimed due to questionable diagnoses. Medical experts debunk the myths of early detection and low radiation, revealing that large-breasted women are at a higher risk for radiation-induced cancers.
