Five Women, Five Experience Facing Breast Cancer

But the movie Five, featuring five different stories of breast cancer directed by Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, Patty Jenkins and Penelope Spheeris gives a new life to a narrative that is often melancholic. 

You could think 5 people affected by breast cancer have enough in common, but the film links together so much more than the path they are on. Regardless of what point in their life they are at or what they have experienced, there is a sense of relatability in all of them or their loved ones. 

The variety in the stories along with the directors brings a beautiful blend of feelings and emotions that all end on a heartwarming note, removing the victimizing aspect that many films on breast cancer carry.
