Friday, June 27, 7pm $2 The Odds of Recovery: Su Friedrich (2002, 65 mins., 16mm) The Odds of Recovery takes a very personal look at the complex problems we face when we confront our illnesses and  try to deal with the medical
establishment that's meant to cure us. Through a detailed chronology of the
filmmaker's six surgeries and one major hormone imbalance, The Odds of
Recovery records the many social, psychological and economic reasons why we
often shy away from dealing with our medical problems and fail to do what's
necessary to maintain a healthier way of life. Through video documentation
in doctors' offices and hospitals as well as 16mm footage of alternative
treatments and other health-giving activities (like T'ai Chi and
gardening), The Odds of Recovery explores many facets of a widespread
problem, in a generously frank and often frankly amusing way.Presented by the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival & the UWM Film Department Also being screened Thursday, June 26, 7pm Presented with the Lesbian Community Health Project at the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center 315 W.
