Farrah Fawcett's cancer battle is to be televised as part of a new TV documentary. A film crew has been chronicling the former Charlie's Angels star's progress as she flies between Los Angeles and Germany - where she has been receiving controversial treatment for anal cancer over the past two years.

And now TV executives at NBC have picked up the project, titled A Wing and A Prayer.

Filmmaker Craig Nevius hopes the documentary, which has yet to receive an air date, will help to promote cancer awareness.

He says, "The film will do what Farrah has always done so well: get people’s attention and get them talking. Those are always the first steps toward effecting social change of any kind."
