A hundred years ago the father of modern Communism died in north London. From his grave in Highgate Cemetery Karl Marx inspired the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and even today he inspires revolutions the world over. The young Marx proclaimed, 'the philosophers have sought to interpret the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.'

The first of six Forty Minutes documentary programmes filmed at the Bristol Cancer Help Centre. Every Wednesday a new group of patients arrives for a two-day crash-course in self-healing. Some are here as a last resort, others are rid of the disease and wish to prevent its recurrence. There is no radiation, no chemotherapy, no surgery, but a philosophy designed to fight the disease from within by harnessing the power of the mind, body and spirit to destroy the malignant cells. The Centre never uses the word ' cure '; it speaks only of ' getting better'
