I’m not one to post press releases on my site. Not unless I think it’s something truly important that I think many of my readers would benefit from.
There is a movie, or rather five short films, airing on Lifetime on October 10, 2011 that explores the impact of Breast Cancer on people’s lives. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month this anthology comes at a perfect time.
The five short films featured in Five were directed by Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, Patty Jenkins and Penelope Spheeris.
Through an interconnected story arc that uses humor and drama to focus on the effect breast cancer and its different stages of diagnosis have on relationships and the way women perceive themselves while searching for strength, comfort, medical breakthroughs and, ultimately, a cure. Each touching storyline is tied together by chronologically featuring Pearl, beginning as a confused child bravely facing the loss of her mother.
The all-star ensemble cast includes Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson (Pieces of April), Rosario Dawson (Sin City), Lyndsy Fonseca (How I Met Your Mother), Ginnifer Goodwin (Big Love), Josh Holloway (Lost), Taylor Kinney (The Vampire Diaries), Jenifer Lewis (The Princess and the Frog), Jennifer Morrison (House M.D.), Kathy Najimy (WALL-E), Golden Globe Award winner Bob Newhart (Horrible Bosses), Annie Potts (Law & Order: SVU), Tracee Ellis Ross (Girlfriends), Emmy and Golden Globe winner Tony Shalhoub (Monk), and Emmy nominees Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love).
Five premieres Monday, October 10th at 9PM ET/PT on Lifetime.

I have not seen the movie anthology yet, but from the trailer and from the description it sounds like it is going to be a powerful movie.
Here is a brief trailer.
