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 Ann, a formal local news reporter and anchor, is diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38, she sets up a diary camera in her bedroom. Ann’s video diaries—raw and true—offer an intimate chronicle of a young mother’s nine month journey with breast cancer, punctuated with humor, poignancy and romance.
Along the way, Ann—with characteristic wit—challenges everything from drive-through mastectomies to how American society all too often degines a woman by her breasts.
The Breast Cancer Diaries is a chronicle of illness met with attitude, sumbolized 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.
Director Linda Pattillo, herself an award-winning former network news correspondent (ABC NEWS and CNN), spent 15 years covering wars across the globe. In The Diaries, she covers a far more intimate and personal battle—that of a young woman and mother fighting for her life.
