Dir. Ryan White

Poets and partners Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley face the former’s terminal cancer diagnosis with laughter, love, and an invitation to share in their grace, in director Ryan White’s beautiful new documentary. Gibson, Colorado’s poet laureate and a veritable rockstar, faces the diagnosis with humility and humor. Using Gibson’s poetry throughout, White crafts a remarkable and life-affirming documentary that won the Festival Favorite Award at Sundance.

With incredible access to Gibson's life in this trying time, the film shares the ups and downs as they battle ovarian cancer, as they write their powerful poetry (and recite it), and as Andrea and Meg laugh and love and deepen their relationship every day. A project buoyed by incredible talent including Tig Notaro and Brandi Carlile, Come See Me in the Good Light invites fans and viewers on Gibson’s heartbreaking and determined journey back to the stage.
