A HEALTHY BABY GIRL
Synopsis
When filmmaker Judith Helfand was 25, she learned she had a rare cervical cancer. The cause was the synthetic hormone DES (diethylstilbestrol), a drug her mother had taken to prevent miscarriages. This led to a radical hysterectomy for Judith and a five-year cinematic odyssey.
