Summary
Sarah is joined by her pal, Bravoholic and writer Tom Smyth, to deep dive the Celine Dion documentary film "I Am: Celine Dion," out today on Prime Video. They unpack their experiences at the world premiere (joined by, you guessed it, Celine Dion!), Celine's day to day living with stiff person syndrome, what the film gets right about chronic illnesses and the difficulty of maintaining hope, missed opportunities around narrative/context, Celine's struggle to continue performing without overstimulation/episodes, and the ways she is able to seek and create joy.
