Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory
'These are the most dangerous stories of my life. The ones I have avoided, the ones I haven't told, the ones that have kept me awake on countless nights. As these stories found echoes in my adult life, and then went another, better way than they did in childhood, they became lighter and easier to carry.'
In Run Towards the Danger, Oscar-nominated screenwriter, director, and actor Sarah Polley explores memory what it is to live in one's body, in a constant state of becoming, learning, and changing.
“Fascinating, harrowing, courageous, and deeply felt, these explorations of ‘dangerous stories,’ harmful past events, and trials of the soul speak to all who’ve encountered dark waters and have had to navigate them.” -- Margaret Atwood, bestselling author of Alias Grace, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Testaments
