Summary Deal With It exposes the state of Canada's Hepatitis C epidemic, one of the most pressing but least discussed health concerns facing the country today. Currently, 300,000 to 500,000 Canadians are estimated to have Hepatitis C, a deadly virus that attacks the liver and can lead to liver cancer, transplantation or death.

Though gripping interviews with patients and healthcare providers, Deal With It documents the despair and the hope of everyday Canadians struggling to navigate their way through systemic and societal hurdles to deal with a chronic viral disease for which there's not only an effective treatment - there's also a cure.
