When maverick Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Debra Chasnoff is diagnosed with stage-4 breast cancer, she faces injustice as always, with her camera. With the help of her wife Nancy and their extended LGBTQ+ family, she traces a journey through the twists and turns of living with cancer. What emerges is a raw, intimate portrait of shifting relationships and identities — a story about hanging onto people you love, as you prepare to let them go.

PROGNOSIS is a co-production of Citizen Film and GroundSpark, the award-winning documentary film organization founded by Debra Chasnoff. The film premiere will be accompanied by a broad-reaching community-engagement campaign designed to spark much-needed conversations about serious illness, end of life care and mortality.

We are so honored to present Debra Chasnoff and Kate Stilley Steiner's moving documentary Prognosis-Notes on Living.

Love, Barbara

Love, Barbara is my attempt to be evangelical about the deep imprint Barbara Hammer left behind -- on the world of lesbians searching for life and language, on women in the arts creating imagery that rings true to lived experience, on innovators challenging accepted norms, and on me personally.
