“Cancer has been my guru,” says Kris Carr, who set out to document her struggle to heal from what seemed to be an incurable form of the disease. With an entertaining blend of humor and emotion, the film accompanies her through her encounters with both the medical establishment and an astonishing variety of holistic healers. Finally, Carr’s illness goes into remission, and she discovers the irony that, rather than challenging her will to live, cancer has furnished her with a life-affirming wisdom. A discussion by experts in various aspects of holistic treatment will follow.
Before the screening, enjoy a lunch prepared by natural food chef Christina Pirello, whose journey to health followed a similar trajectory. She will share her own story and sign copies of her new cookbook This Crazy Vegan Life: A Prescription for an Endangered Species.
Christina Pirello is the Emmy Award-winning host of Christina Cooks, now in its 9th season. She also publishes Christina Cooks, a bi-monthly magazine.
In partnership with the Linda Creed Foundation.
