On August 11, 2013, the AAVia Foundation for the Health of Bolivian Children sponsored a visit by documentary filmmaker, and my friend Timothy Malia’s high school buddy, Cynthia Wade for a screening of her Oscar-nominated 2012 film, MONDAYS AT RACINE. Following the film there was a panel discussion related to issues raised by the film: cancer, beauty and self-perception. What I liked was the film’s quietness – it let the women (struggling with cancer) articulate their own stories, in their own particular way. So empowering.
