The SCAR Project: Breast Cancer Is Not A Pink Ribbon

From the SCAR Project web site:

"The "Baring It All" documentary by New York-based fashion photographer, David Jay highlights the lives of four subjects taking their pictures for his SCAR Project. The goals of the project are to raise awareness to early-onset breast cancer, raise funds for breast cancer research/outreach programs and help young survivors see their scars, faces, figures and experiences through a new, honest and ultimately empowering lens."

The visual pictures were gripping, but even more so were the human stories of what it meant for each participant to become involved with the project and hear about how their struggles with this disease has changed their lives.

This film brought back heart wrenching memories of what we have gone through and still face in our future. It is a deeply touching look at the reality of young women surviving and living with breast cancer. I encourage anyone to watch it. Chances are you know someone who has been affected by breast cancer and this will give you an insight into what they may be going through.
