Just One Year

If you’re up for a documentary — but one that’s as lovely and engaging as a feature film — try Just One Year, the story of a professional dolphin trainer and avid filmmaker who tracked her own life on film from her cancer diagnosis onward.

It’s a deeply personal account of her experience, and Joy Clausen traces her story with realism, dignity, and optimism. Not surprisingly, the film won a good deal of awards.

You’ll find it empowering to see a well tracked, real-life struggle with cancer, and how one young woman was able to push through the lows and celebrate the highs on her way to recovery.
