    Cancer in Two Voices

    Info

    1994     Documentary    
    USA
    43 minutes

    "I'm the first among our friends to have cancer... Many will see their future in the way I handle mine," Barbara Rosenblum wrote after learning she had advanced breast cancer. For three years Barbara had yet to live, she and her partner, Sandra Butler, documented their lives with courage and frankness. This stunning film provides a unique view into the intimacy of a relationship in a time of crisis. The two women talk about their identity as Jewish women and as lesbians, and they speak openly about the difficult issues each is facing: anger, guilt, feelings about their bodies and changing sexuality, about death and loss.
