Description
SILVER WORLDMEDAL NEW YORK FILM & VIDEO FESTIVALS 2001 Julienne is a vibrant, down-to-earth woman in a fulfilling job. Her great passions are her garden, cottage, books, and partner of five years, Loretta. But their idyllic life starts on a roller coaster ride when they discover Julienne has a voracious form of breast cancer. Four weeks after the shock diagnosis, Julienne's five close women cousins come together for what will be their final reunion. Given just months to live, Julienne sets about organising her life - and death - taking us on a unforgettable journey of good humour, straight talking and remarkable insights on life. This is a heart warming and inspiring story, told through the eyes of one of Julienne's cousins, TV journalist and film-maker Kay Stammers. For all women touched by breast cancer, as well as their partners, carers, nursing students and health professionals. REVIEWS "This is a story of real people, living with dignity, and embracing death with power. At no time does Julienne regard herself as a victim. JULIENNE offers a very different focus than the standard films about the grief and horrors of terminal disease. My students and I watched in awe as Julienne moved herself with a life force that many well people do not reflect. It was a pleasure and an honour to 'meet' Julienne. She made a difference to us all". Barbara Levitan, RN, MEd, Director, Personal Support Worker Training Program, ParaMed Vocational School, Extendicare Canada. "I thought the video was amazing. You are all such strong women. You all clearly have the ethos of confronting reality head on and dealing with it. Julienne is such a role model for all of us who are tempted to hide from the truth rather than dealing with it. Thanks to you, through the video, she can be a role model for more than the lucky few who knew her." Dr Lesley Andrews Hereditary Cancer Clinic, Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney. *FOR PHONE ORDERS (US OR CANADA) PLEASE CALL: (888) 304 0038. |
