It will feature never-before-seen footage of interviews, hospital visits, surgeries, and other private moments with friends and family.
Sandra’s sister Kimber Lee, her long-time partner Governor Andrew Cuomo and his daughter Mariah Kennedy Cuomo will also be featured.
The short film is just two weeks from its world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival on January 22nd at 9:00 pm at the Temple Theatre.
Audiences will also be able to watch the film on TV, as HBO Documentary Films will be airing RX: EARLY DETECTION this October to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
