This week, films are being screened across the US, many highlighting issues surrounding how we handle disease and how it relates to families.

Many of us must navigate illness in our own lives or the lives of our loved ones. With POV you can share intimate stories from families coping with these important issues with others in your community. Host your own screening in December with films like The Genius of Marian, In the Family, and When I Walk.
