Abstract:
"Anyone who knew Babz Chula - a talented, larger-than-life actress from Canada's West Coast - could tell you that her life force, or chi, was incredibly strong. When Babz reconnected with director Anne Wheeler in 2009, they discovered a mutual interest: India. Babz easily convinces Anne to join her on a journey to Kerala, where 63-year-old Babz will undergo treatment by a renowned Ayurvedic healer in an effort to manage her six-year battle with cancer. Anne suggests she bring her camera and film the process, and Babz enthusiastically agrees. The bare-bones Indian clinic at first disappoints, but Babz is uplifted as her condition seemingly shows marked signs of improvement following treatment, introspection and laughs with Anne. Returning home, however, it is revealed that her cancer has actually advanced. Amazingly, the irrepressible Babz invites Anne and her camera to continue bearing witness to her journey into the unknown."--Container.
