Eight really, really inspiring breast cancer films
If you weren't blown away by Kim and StephanieL's triple-negative breast cancer story, I just watched eight powerful short films. Here are a few descriptions:
In Situ
A woman's experience as she undergoes chemotherapy — her initial reactions to her diagnosis and the continuing physical effects the toxic chemical has on her body.
Keep On Moving
A film about professional dancer Debby Feldman, her 9 year battle with breast cancer and how dance, and the love and support of her family help her face a fatal diagnosis.
Surfaces
A woman tells her boyfriend that she has breast cancer. She proves that it is not only the victim who needs compassion, but also those close to them.
