"The [breasts] of doom had taken my mother. Now they were after me," she says in her highly praised documentary, Busting Out.

"Strickwerda and Smith filmed people criticizing both the corporate exploitation of breast cancer's symbolic pink ribbon and hospitals that take money from the manufacturers of infant formula while offering little support for women who might want to nurse."
