Program Description

Event Details

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this award winning documentary is an intimate portrait of love and loss – an ode to the healing power of storytelling.  Carol Wall's debut memoir – about cancer, friendship, and cultivating an open heart – was a breakout success. But joy turned to tragedy when the breast cancer she wrote about returned, and she died months after its publication. Carol’s husband, Dick, determined to help her life-affirming message find its audience, becomes the book’s unlikely spokesperson and embarks on a nationwide book tour. He’s joined by the couple’s filmmaker son, Phil, who captures his dad’s efforts to ensure her dream lives on.

Documentary, 2020, NR, 1hr 29 min
