How I Live
How I Live' chronicles the journeys of four children with cancer, in Guatemala, El Salvador, Egypt and Myanmar, as they and their families confront the realities of accessing care and treatment.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 four children, 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.
