A classic of Atlantic cinema full of wit, wisdom and honesty, My Left Breast is the powerful first-person account of filmmaker Gerry Rogers' experience facing—and surviving—breast cancer. Shortly after being diagnosed at age 42, Rogers began to document her experience on camera in an attempt to confront her own questions and fears. But rather than present a somber meditation on this difficult experience, she decides to bravely invoke humor, calling on her family and friends—and even an adorable baby seal—to help foster acceptance and hope. The result is a one-of-kind, life-affirming approach to coping with disease that will make you laugh and cry, maybe even at the same time.
