Women's Oncology and Other Medical Problems
By Heather Watson-Burgess
The filmmaker's mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother all had breast cancer, so have two of her three aunts, and she has lived for most of her life with the knowledge that she might be next. Instead of reacting with denial, she decided to explore her feelings of grief and fear with the other women of her family. The result is an extraordinary portrait of a family of brave, strong women finding unity while facing a terrifying and tragic genetic legacy.
It is also, though, a touching and universal portrayal of the ups and downs of mother-daughter relationships. Through video diaries, intimate interviews, and up-close documentary footage of family get-togethers, the film weaves together a complex, poignant story of a family sharing tender moments of laughter, tears, compassion, and loss. Never allowing themselves to be cast as victims, these women, across four generations, have created a sisterhood of survival.
Review

This program profiles women of different ages and backgrounds who are in recovery. Though the incidence of alcoholism is slightly less among women than men, once it develops, this disease tends to progress more rapidly in women. Physiological differences quickly put women at a greater risk for physical complications, some of which are unique to women (breast cancer & bearing a child with fetal alcohol syndrome). Powerful, enlightening, excellent for support groups to see and use for discussions.
