Description

An unflinching and unsentimental look at the lives of four seriously ill teenagers who have cancer and cystic fibrosis. Director Douglas Cole faced the issues personally as his daughter had cancer, and he was amazed by her strength and spirit, and how she came to terms with suffering. Through the eyes and words of these four young people we learn about the spirit that enables them to fight, to endure and above all to celebrate life. Canada.
This film is of historical interest and reflects the cultural attitudes of the country in which it was made, medical procedures and language of the time it was made. But the issues raised are timeless.
