Goodbye Breasts! is a 70-minute documentary that chronicles the inspiring and offbeat recovery of Joanna Callaghan, a two-time hereditary cancer survivor who takes a radically creative approach to healing after breast cancer treatment.
Following a double mastectomy, Joanna reclaims her body in the most unexpected ways—building a giant inflatable breast, devising song-and-dance routines inspired by post-surgery exercises, and throwing a party to celebrate breasts. Her journey is not just one of physical healing but also a powerful exploration of body acceptance and resilience.
Through a blend of self-shot footage, animation, and archival clips, the film brings humour and heart to the sensitive topic of breast cancer recovery. Joanna’s imaginative outlook shines through as she revisits her treatment, reconnects with family, and meets other survivors to share stories. Along the way, she faces the emotional toll of illness, navigates her own transformation, and demonstrates the power of creativity as a tool for survival.
In this raw yet uplifting documentary, Goodbye Breasts! delivers a message of hope and joy, shedding light on the deeply personal and universal experiences of those affected by breast cancer. Joanna’s journey is both deeply individual and part of the larger conversation on illness, recovery, and the importance of community. With an inventive approach and a fresh perspective on survivorship, this documentary inspires viewers to find humour, hope, and healing even in the most difficult circumstances.
