Cancerpants explores the topic gracefully

The topic of "cancer" is a heavy and serious one to portray in any film, let alone a documentary. Yet, in Nevie Owen's film, "Cancerpants" the ups and downs of living with cancer are explored in such an intimate and detailed manner that by the end of the movie, it's hard not to feel like you've gone through an emotional roller-coaster with the characters of the film.

Revolving around the story of Rochelle Paulson, the film chronicles her battle with Stage 3 breast cancer over a two-year period in a gripping and uncompromising way. From the good times to the bad, "Cancerpants" shines a very bright light on the human spirit in this hidden gem of a documentary.
