“The Power of Me, the Power of We” Documentary

Paradoxically, the experience of young adults living with advanced cancer can be both very challenging and a catalyst for personal growth. The complexity of their experience is due, in part, to their unique physical, psychological, developmental, and social needs. To this end, Carmen Loiselle and Hope & Cope (Suzanne O’Brien) embarked on an innovative documentary film project to document their experience. The team wishes to take this documentary to various media sources, to raise awareness of young adults’ unique experiences with advanced cancer and the health care system, as well as fundraise to support young adults with cancer services provided through Hope & Cope.
