A co-production with CoPAC.

Passion Flower is a short documentary by Jarrod Whaley. The film deals with dancer Ann Law's decision, after having been diagnosed with breast cancer and having undergone a double mastectomy, to have her chest tattooed instead of being fitted with prostheses or submitting to reconstructive surgery.

The film, though it stands on its own as a complete work, will be screened as part of a multimedia presentation on Ann's way of dealing with her cancer; the presentation will include this documentary, a dance piece choreographed and performed by Ms. Law herself, and an exhibition of photographs by Virginia Webb.
