``It is incredible to think that the events portrayed in this film are based on a true story,'' said John R. Seffrin, Ph.D., national chief executive officer of the two million member society. ``Big Tobacco has a forty year history of lies, deceit and sinister business practices when it comes to full disclosure about the health risks associated with smoking.'' National volunteer and staff leadership of the American Cancer Society were able to screen the film in the midst of their annual National Assembly meeting in New Orleans. ``As partners in the public health movement nationwide, the American Cancer Society urges concerned citizens everywhere to see firsthand for themselves the secret truth about this industry and its tactics,'' said John R.

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.
