DEAR ANNIE, I HATE YOU
A visceral navigation of writer/actor Sam's life when she was 20 and suddenly diagnosed with a fatal brain aneurysm..."Annie". Living and breathing inside the moments that make up the sum of who we are in these fateful decisions, Sam deftly attacks the question: what makes life worth living?
