In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19981022161806.01015958@mail.utexas.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Kristi, I've has a wonderful response to the film "Cancer in Two Voices" by Barbara Rosenblum and Sandy Butler. It is the story of how they cope as a couple with Barbara's diagnosis and ultimately death from advanced stage breast cancer. Barbara was a sociologist and together she and Sandy documented aspects of the last three year of their life together on video. It's very moving. Throughout, you get sincere and deeply thoughtful expressions of how they are experiencing the illness socially, personally, and spiritually. Importantly, you get perspectives from both the person who is ill and that person's intimate partner. It is 43 minutes long, but you need to talk about it afterward. My students seemed to really appreciate it. The film is real gift. It was produced by Sandbar Productions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn A.
