Courageous Warriors Beauty from the Ashes

Almost everyone has been affected by breast cancer, whether they've had it themselves or know someone who has. This documentary tells the stories of breast cancer patients and their caregivers, who are so often left out of the films we see about living with cancer. The stories are told with grace and love and a bit of humor as they open the viewers eyes and heart to the realities of battling a deadly disease. Highly recommended.

Wow! Moving. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Inspiring. I love the depth of the film and how it delves into the deeper aspects of cancer from the perspective of those battling the disease and also seeing what the caretakers are going through. This film really can be related to anyone battling illness. Overall the film shows the power of the human spirit to support, fight, survive, and overcome. I appreciate learning more about so many amazing resources available to people as well. Have your tissues and your heart ready!

I so honor and blessed to see this documentary, especially as a survivor. It also gave me a better understanding what women go through, the help that is available and that cancer is not just an individual diagnosis but a family and friend diagnosis. Support, education and compassion are important factors to everyone's journey. I hope everyone will see this documentary.

Courageous Warriors displays the message of hope and the fight to stand tall against cancer. The film is raw, bold, and enlightening. In order to tell a story in it's most true form, dialogue, stories, and visuals, should not be hindered or held back in any way. The mental strain. The initial shock. The cloud of gloom that falls upon you after receiving that call from the biopsy results. The emotional toll and the way survivors lead life after cancer remission, is displayed in the most beautiful and unabbreviated way. We see in-depth, at how much we can learn about the many milestones it takes to cross that finish line. The overall tone of the film, in my opinion, is one of hope and strength, with the reality that unfortunately many people across the globe come to terms with. No one is alone in their battle with cancer, and we see that here.

Often, people forget about caregivers. In many ways they are seen as angels. In being seen as angels, mental health is not something that is brought to light as much and can sometimes be pushed to the side. Upon completing my watch of the film, I have learned that there are fantastic resources out there and the mental health awareness for caregivers is ever-growing and should not go unnoticed. The stories are emotional in their most true, unscripted form, but turn the page to the survivors leading the path for new ways in guidance for the world to take part in.

We see the affliction and emotional impact this has on cancer patients, survivors, and their families. But, we see the positivity and light at the end of the tunnel which is nothing short from hopeful and completing for both the Warriors in the film and the Warriors across the globe who seek solace. I love everything about this film from the stories, cinematography, well developed music score, and the many things that you may not have even been aware of.

My heart is full after seeing this film. After experiencing first-hand what it was like to have a close family member in hospice from Ovarian cancer, the emotion and reality is just too real and relatable. This is my honest review and I hope everyone has the opportunity to watch this film in it's entirety, because every second of it is worth it. To Darla and the Production team, thank you for this beautiful presentation. To the Warriors, thank you for having the courage to tell your story...

What an empowering telling of various male and female breast cancer survivors and their caregivers experiences triumphing over this disease.

The film is hopeful, helpful, educational, encouraging, edifying, I can't recommend it enough.

The stories are ever cognizant that battles, even wars, that are won can sometimes be resurrected for future combat. But as of that taping, they are soaring like butterflies taking flight, determined not to give into fear.

Courageous Warriors not only shares memories of the struggles, the treatments, the resulting emotional, psychological, and physical scars, but also celebrates the opportunities that have arisen from these very same men and women to affect healing for themselves and others

It's moving, it's powerful, it worth seeing whenever and wherever you can.
