Mammogram

A quirky view of a woman’s anxieties during her first mammogram.
Overwhelmed by fear when facing her first mammogram after losing her mother to breast cancer, a young woman’s anxieties take her to an alternate world where all the patients join together in dance. MAMMOGRAM brings a breath of fresh air and a different perspective on a very scary subject.
