Busting Out to air on Showtime this Wednesday, October 12th!
Busting Out, a disarmingly honest and intimate documentary exploration of
our society's attitudes towards breasts. Busting Out uncovers the history
and politics of an American obsession, and how it affects women's health
and happiness. The film, co-directed by noted documentary producers
Francine Strickwerda and Laurel Spellman Smith, is scheduled to debut on
SHOWTIME Wednesday, October 12 at 11 PM - 12 AM (ET/PT) (West coast viewers
may see Busting Out on Showtime East at 8pm - check your local listings).
Busting Out combines personal story-telling with devastating analysis,
heartfelt case histories with occasionally humorous perspectives, and frank
talk of sexual subjects with the sweet innocence of a young girl shopping
for her first bra. Told from the perspective of co-producer Strickwerda,
who lost her mother to breast cancer as a child, Busting Out is a revealing
glimpse into the world of being female. From breast-obsessed men
shouting "flash those racks!" to the horrors of breast cancer and the
differences in attitudes among cultures worldwide, Busting Out leaves no
stone unturned in its quest to demystify the American breast. This
documentary features a handful of Seattle area residents including
Breastfeeding Coalition of WA, co-chair, Dr. MaryAnn O'Hara and several Le
Leche League Leaders.
