A Woman Like Me (2015)
Directed by Alex Sichel, Elizabeth Giamatti
“When you are stuck between a rock and a hard place, can your imagination get you out?”
Documentary · 1h 19m
A WOMAN LIKE ME is a hybrid documentary that interweaves the real story of director Alex Sichel, diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2011, with the fictional story of Anna Seashell, who struggles to find the glass half full when faced with the same diagnosis. The film follows Alex as she uses her craft to explore what is foremost on her mind while confronting a terminal disease: parenting, marriage, faith, life, and death. When we are stuck between a rock and hard place, can our imagination get us out?
