To mark Men’s Health Awareness Month, SurvivorNet has launched “Men Beating The Odds,” an inspiring 12-part documentary series highlighting real-life journeys of men thriving after a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer.

Hosted by NFL legend Emmitt Smith — who was inspired to speak out after his own father’s battle with prostate cancer — “Men Beating The Odds” is an uplifting series that commemorates the strength and resilience of men confronted with this disease.

From NBA Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning to everyday heroes like veterans, business owners, and NASA doctors, the series shines a light on powerful stories of courage and transformation, and also shines a light on the need for more awareness of the disease in underserved communities. Prostate cancer impacts 1 in 8 men in the U.S., and these stories highlight the power of community and shared strength.

With prostate cancer so prevalent in the U.S., the series addresses an urgent need for visibility, early detection, and honest conversation. The films go beyond statistics to tell deeply human stories—of reclaiming dreams, raising awareness in communities of color, and redefining survivorship.

“This is about honoring strength and encouraging men to speak up,” says Emmitt Smith. “These stories show that even after a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer, life can be full of purpose, power, and new possibilities.”

The documentary film series “Men Beating The Odds,” which represents a tribute to bravery and a call to action in raising awareness for prostate cancer is available on SurvivorNet.com and SNTV (the first streaming network dedicated to those affected by cancer and chronic illnesses).
