"In 1981, my beautiful, vivacious and sexy mom left her final thoughts on a cassette tape a few weeks before she died of a rare cancer. For 39 years, I couldn’t bring myself to listen. I kept that tape with me through every move, but I was too afraid of the emotions it would make me feel. Until now.
During the pandemic, I finally pressed play. What I heard were words so powerful ...so personal…so intimate…so universal… that I knew I needed to collaborate with my mother, Judy, to bring you her story about living…dying…and, most importantly, loving. Together we take you down a secret path into a world most of us don’t talk about.” - Melody Gilbert (SF DocFest alumni and prior NonFiction Vanguard Award recipient)
