In The Family

At 31, filmmaker Joanna Rudnick faces an impossible decision: remove her breasts and ovaries or risk overwhelming odds of developing cancer. Armed with a genetic test result that leaves her "a ticking time bomb," she balances dreams of having her own children with the unnerving reality that she is risking her life by holding on to her fertility.

In The Family follows Joanna as she connects with other women trying to navigate their way around the wrenching decisions associated with predictive genetic testing. Intensely personal and timely, this provocative film asks: How much do you sacrifice to survive?
