Produced in collaboration with Calm Health, this short film shares the journey of Sara Machnick, a young cancer survivor who found strength through expression, community, and access to mental health care that met her where she was.

The film explores the overlooked emotional toll of cancer — and how digital tools like the Calm Health app are helping bridge the gap between treatment and healing. Blending firsthand experience with clinical perspective, the story highlights the urgent need for more inclusive, accessible mental health solutions in oncology care.

As part of Goodfellow’s work in healthcare video production, this project reflects our commitment to telling human-centered stories that illuminate the invisible struggles behind medical challenges — and the innovations designed to meet them.

In partnership with Calm Health & BBC StoryWorks

It felt like someone else going through cancer treatment beside me, saying, ‘Hey, we’ve been there. You’re not alone.’
