The Great White House is a documentary film in which cancer survivors, based on their own life experience, discuss optimism, motivation, plans and dreams, now and before the illness.

The film is an autorship work of the young cancer surviors group - MladiCe, under the guidance of their mentor Zoran Ćotić. It was filmed with great enthusiasm and volunteer contribution. In this way, we wanted to show that we constantly need to look for new ways for young people to publicly speak about their problems. The film also shows potential ways of solving these problems.

"This film is the crown of our work so far, and since the film is partly a story about the Parents' House, and the name symbolically alludes to it, it is the crown of the Parent's House work. The premiere of this film is in part an appreciation to all those good people who in any way supported the work of the Parents' House, the work of the Association, and therefore the work of the network of young cancer survivors - MladiCe", said Advija Džambas, a representative of the young cancer survivor network.
