A film on the front lines of pediatric oncology that follows families, patients, and healthcare providers as they live with, battle against and cure childhood cancer in the developing world. How I Live will chronicle the journey of five children with cancer in low and middle-income countries. Following their journeys from diagnosis through treatment, the complex issues facing patients, families and healthcare providers emerge. Verite style filmmaking provides a window into both the interpersonal networks and healthcare systems that support and guide families through treatment. Weaving together stories of children from diverse locations, socio-economic backgrounds and cultures unified by an experience of cancer, the film is a composite of; global pediatric oncology, the power of parents’ love, children’s courage, the commitment of healthcare providers, and what is possible when a community is dedicated to treating and some-day curing childhood cancer.
