Review of Three Women

I expected the subject matter -- living with breast cancer -- to be emotional, but what I didn't expect was to actually learn something new. But I did! As a white woman (and former health care reporter, no less) I had no idea that some medical professionals assumed that people of color could take higher doses of chemo because of the melatonin in their skin!
This montage of three women speaking about living with cancer is well-produced and thought provoking. It's laid out in a very logical fashion with each soundbite building on the next, and it gives listeners an insight into universal themes and perspectives that are specific to minority women.
Well done!
