About the Film
“A Cancer Rainbow: Snapshots From My Journey” is an empowering documentary that shows how women make it to the other side of breast cancer. The film focuses on the emotional side of the disease and offers hope, inspiration, and optimism to those who see it.
The film was produced by husband and wife television veterans, Becky and Gary Krimstein (Beckstein Productions). Becky was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35. Once she had recovered from her breast cancer treatment, she and her husband felt compelled to use their television experience to make a film to help other women facing the disease.
The film is told from Becky’s point of view, as she takes viewers with her on the journey that changed her life for the better. In the film, she introduces you to the doctors and new friends she met as she journeyed through breast cancer. The film takes some dramatic twists as four more women within the small circle of the film were diagnosed with breast cancer, as the film was being made. The filmmakers captured women before they even knew they had breast cancer and followed them as cancer transformed their lives.
