From the Producer

This wonderful 30-minute film is sure to please the entire family. Winner of several film festival awards, including the CINE "Golden Eagle," the NEMN "Silver Apple," the Breckenridge Festival of Film, and the Rochester Film Festival, Fedora is a beautiful rendition of a true story of trial and love. With rich cinematography by T.C. Christensen and a powerful musical score by Grammy-award winning composer Sam Cardon, Fedora is masterful storytelling in a compact package.

Product Description

What does it mean to love someone? When Julio Esperanza is diagnosed with cancer, he must face his own mortality for the first time. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments leave him sickly, thin, and bald. When his own daughter doesn't recognize him, he is overcome with grief and retreats into loneliness and despair.

But faith and hope light the way as Julio's family and friends discover a remarkable and unique way to share his burden. Their creativity and humor are a living example of the transcendent power of love. No man is alone with such friends and Julio Esperanza was blessed with dozens of them. This award- winning film is based on a true story.

This review is from: Fedora [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've watched Fedora a few times now and each time I have enjoyed it. It is a wonderful story that really hits home for me. Having had family members in the past afflicted with cancer, I was able relate personally with the characters in this film. Based on my personal experience, I felt the movie was realistic, uplifting, entertaining, and not offensive in any way. I highly recommend this movie to all, especially those who value the importance of having friends and family help each other through difficult times.

5.0 out of 5 stars A TRUE STORY OF COMPASSION AND LOVE, September 10, 1999

This review is from: Fedora [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When Julio Esperanza, devoted husband and father, discovers he has cancer, his life takes a terrible turn. Distraught about his future, he withdraws into isolation and despair. Meanwhile, his family, friends, and the boys on the baseball team he coaches wring their hands miserably, unable to reach Julio or to assuage his pain. But faith and hope light the way as Julio's friends and family discover a remarkable and powerful way to share Julio's trials, and he discovers, finally, that no man is alone who has friends -- and Julio was blessed with dozens of them. A true story.
