    Mondays at Racine

    Cynthia WADE 2012 USA Documentary color 39min English DigiBeta
    Shaving becomes a necessary ritual for female cancer patients to avoid witnessing the dense-to-sparse phases. Cynthia and Rachel open up their hair salon in Long Island, New York, called Racine, and offer free beauty services for women undergoing chemotherapy every third Monday of the month. They are determined to make their customers feel beautiful, making Mondays at Racine go beyond purple painted toes or a frothy facial. The glamorous sisters give these women a sense of normalcy and dignity in a traumatic time. The story of what hair means in our culture quickly unfolds into an unexpected look at womanhood and marriage. The film is nominated for the 2013 Academy Awards.
