'Beyond Breast Cancer: Stories of Survivors' explores the experiences of nine courageous, everyday women who survive breast cancer only to discover that their health struggles continue after their cancer treatment ends.Part of a larger, interdisciplinary UCLA study funded by the Susan G. Komen Foundation for which nearly a hundred women were interviewed, this film captures the essence of their stories;;the difficulties, the triumphs, and the wisdom that ensues from enduring a chronic health challenge.
99 To 1: Ovarian Cancer And Me-In the summer of 2005 the doctors said they were 99% sure filmmaker Phoebe Brown did not have ovarian cancer. She turned out to be the 1%. Two years later Phoebe is cancer free but not without scars. ;In 99 to 1: Ovarian Cancer and Me, the filmmaker takes us on a journey through her diagnosis, her grandmother's death from ovarian cancer, her physical and emotional reactions to chemotherapy treatment and her hopes for the future. ;Shot, edited and narrated by Ms. Brown, 99 to1 is a vulnerable, intimate, funny and quirky self-portrait of a survivor. Using experimental technique and the fragments of her cancer archive, Phoebe delivers a powerful narrative of hope and brings awareness to the often-overlooked issues of ovarian cancer.
