When filmmaker Debra Chasnoff faces stage-4 cancer, she turns her lens on herself and the disease. What emerges is a portrait of her extended LGBTQ family —a story about hanging on while letting go.
Someone You Should Meet focuses on an extended family gathering organized by two filmmakers who only recently learned they were related through their great-grandparents. As the family explores their shared history and evolving Jewish identity over five generations, old wounds surface, and a sense of belonging is discovered.
