LIVE STRONG

In this outstanding production, talented actors turn gritty survivors’ stories into works of inspiration and transformation. With utterly believable performances, they deliver the riveting struggles of cancer survivors to become whole and independent people again. The stories reach out without help from intellectual or psychological interpretation. They are the honest reflections of people who describe their paths through cancer diagnosis, treatment, and eventual survival. The editing of the patients’ original stories is masterfully done to give each a compact and well-paced intensity. The survivors are predominantly educated and articulate, giving their stories refined but still universal gravitas. More about living than the threat of dying, this audio offers support that survivors of all types will identify with. T.W.
