BBC Making Second Doc On Inspirational Breast Cancer Campaigner Kris Hallenga


The BBC is making a Kris Hallenga doc after the CoppaFeel! founder died in May 2024.

During that time she defied convention about how to live and die, becoming an inspiration for millions and building the fastest-growing charity in Europe, CoppaFeel!, with sister Maren Hallenga. Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, BBC Documentaries, said: “Kris was a hugely inspirational woman who had a great impact on the many people who live with cancer by helping to raise awareness, and the importance of being checked early. Bonner added that the one-off is an “intimate and celebratory film exploring Kris’s irrepressible spirit as she confronts mortality in her own unique way.”
