When Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Debra Chasnoff is diagnosed with stage-4 breast cancer, she faces off with injustice as she always does – with her camera. With the help of her wife Nancy and their extended LGBTQ+ family, Chasnoff takes us on a journey through the twists and turns of living with cancer. What emerges is a raw, intimate portrait of shifting relationships and identities in this story about hanging onto the people you love while preparing to let them go.
