BendFilm presents The Breast Cancer Diaries

For ten years, Ann Murray-Paige covered the news -- but for the biggest story of her life she turned the camera on herself. When Murray-Paige, a former television reporter and anchor, learns she has breast cancer at age 38, she sets up a diary camera in her bedroom. Ann’s video diaries -- raw and true -- are punctuated with humor, poignancy and romance.

THE BREAST CANCER DIARIES is a chronicle of illness met with attitude, symbolized by the “Cancer Sucks” button that Ann pins on her shirt. Throughout it all there is humor -- from a hospital flashing scene to a young son’s attempt to heal his mother with a whoopee cushion. The resulting documentary is an unfettered, unvarnished memoir of the year that changed one woman’s life.
