Breast Fest: About Her

"I had no idea this project would move and inspire me the way it did. The women I met were so open and forthcoming. They are all younger than I am. They all have remarkable spirits. But most of all they reminded me the importance of love. And I am grateful to have worked on this film." Phyllis Ellis, Director of About Her

Every person will go through challenges in their lives. No one expects breast cancer to be one of them. About Her tells the powerful story of five young women from across Canada who have each been diagnosed with HER2+ breast cancer. They were traveling, building their careers, and starting families. They were each on top of the world and then everything changed. Canadian director, Phyllis Ellis, captures candid moments with each woman as she relates her experience of this aggressive form of the disease: the shock of diagnosis, finding the strength to confront mortality head-on and discovering new hope for the future.
