Product Description

This collection of Lifetime® Original Movies features four inspiring films about people overcoming great odds - and the first three are based on true stories. The three-time Emmy®-nominated Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story stars Thora Birch as a homeless 15-year-old girl who doesn't let her circumstances prevent her from attending Harvard University. In Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy, Sarah Chalke plays Geralyn Lucas, a 27-year-old woman with a breast cancer diagnosis whose story is an empowering reminder that attitude is everything. Ambulance Girl, directed by and starring Academy Award®-winner Kathy Bates, tells the stirring - and hilarious - story of a woman who overcomes depression by becoming a volunteer EMT. And three-time Emmy®-nominated We Were The Mulvaneys (Beau Bridges, Blythe Danner), based on a novel by Joyce Carol Oates, follows a "perfect" family that struggles to keep their only daughter's rape a shameful secret. Prepare to laugh, cry, and think again about what is possible in the face of adversity.
