A "Must See" Documentary
No Hair Day is a "Must See" documentary film for cancer patients, their families, friends and anyone who supports them through the ordeal of cancer. It focuses on the human side of cancer: the tears, the laughter, the power of a positive
attitude. The three women, Debbie Dorsey, Libby Levinson, and Carol Potoff, all breast cancer patients, share their thoughts and fears and humor as they participate in a photo shoot of themselves--3 bald women from chemotherapy. Elsa Dorfman,
the portrait photographer and Bob Burns the videographer are masters at capturing the bravery, beauty and dignity of 3 bald women with cancer. This is a "must see."

Reader's Digest Was Right: Laughter IS The Best Medicine
Bob Burns and Debbie Dorsey have teamed up to create an extraordinary documentary valentine for anyone who has suffered with their own or a family member's bout with cancer. When this husband-and-wife production team was faced with Debbie's breast cancer, Bob's camera and Debbie's editing skills became a powerfully cooperative tool of communication and healing. This loving tale of several women coming to grips with the loss of their hair post-chemotherapy is the compelling tale of survivors with a breathless sense of humour and of wonder. Thank you to everyone involved for so nimbly sharing such powerful life lessons.

It's what is in your head, not what's on top of it.
"No Hair Day" is not about plot development, story line, or action. Rather, this is a film about character. As Debbie, Libby, and Carol, three women with breast cancer, slowly shed wigs, clothing, and inhibitions, we are priviledged to see their inner beings revealed.

Through the double lenses of Elsa Dorfman's enormous Polaroid camera and that of the filmmaker, we watch and listen as the women share their stories. All three are undergoing chemotherapy and struggle with the emotional and physical (hence the title) impact of the disease. They manage to find strength and comfort in their bond, and so do we.

For all women who are wives, mothers, daughters, and friends, who have had breast cancer or know someone who has, this is an important and life affirming film. When asked on camera "How has cancer changed your life?" Debbie first laughs, then cries. I did too.
