In perhaps her bravest act, Oscar-winning documentarian and LGBTQIA+ activist Debra Chasnoff responds to a deadly disease by turning the camera on herself, her wife Nancy Otto, and their chosen family. Clear-eyed and unsentimental, Prognosis is an emotionally raw, funny, and profoundly intimate present-tense diary of a life fiercely lived, and a love worth fighting for.
