AADL Productions Podcast: Kris Carr

Thu, 09/16/2010 - 4:35pm by amy

As soon as she was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer (Stage IV, with metastases to the lungs), Kris Carr turned on the video camera and started a video journal, documenting her visits to doctors, her occasional emotional breakdowns, and her no-holds-barred commitment to researching and changing what she could--her attitude, her diet and her lifestyle. The result is the funny, candid and helpful 2007 video, Crazy Sexy Cancer, followed by two books, Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips and Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor: More Rebellion and Fire for your Healing Journey. In our interview, Kris talks about her experience making the film, the people she's met and the lessons she's learned since her diagnosis, and the healing power of Oprah's hugs. You can listen to our interview with Kris, below, or watch the video of her presentation at the Library on August 17, 2010.
