Photographer Alex Harris and producer Paula Ehrlich will discuss their pilot documentary, The Time of Our Lives: Living with Brain Cancer, in a multimedia presentation on Wed., Jan 11, 2012 at 12 noon in Duke Hospital room 2003.
The Time of Our Lives is a story about two individuals who are thinking about their lives and, more importantly, living their lives in the knowledge and context of having brain cancer. Told through a collection of still photographs enriched by each patient’s own voice and the wise perspective of their physician, their story is about the time of all of our lives—how we think about time, and how we choose to live in that time.Their presentation is part of the Documenting Medicine series—a program that pairs Duke physician residents and fellows with documentarians at Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies to produce work exploring medical stories—as well as part of the Humanities in Medicine Lecture Series from Duke’s Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities, and History of Medicine.
