LOVE AND STUFF
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 9 PM

"How do you live without your mother?" Filmmaker Judith Helfand asks this unbearable question twice: as a daughter caring for her terminally ill mother; as an "old new mom," single parenting her much-longed-for adopted baby girl at 50+. With gallows humor and lots of heart, this multigenerational love story ultimately asks: What do we need to leave our children?
