Made in Canada

When breast cancer attacks women, it doesn't just affect the individual. It turns the lives of husbands, sons and fathers, along with daughters and mothers, upside down. In Canada, women like Linda Evangelista, Roberta Bondar and Margaret Atwood have led the fight for cancer research to cure this debilitating illness. In part to thank the women in this book for their contributions and in part to raise awareness for the cause, Canadian musician Bryan Adams turns his talent from music to the camera. The resulting photos in Made in Canada are stunning, resonant images that reinforce the strength we have to beat this monster.
