My Emotional Support Movie

Written By Alexandra Taber
 
 
 

I have found myself in a familiar place lately. Watching an emotional support movie. I did the same thing eight years ago when the world suddenly felt confusing and unpredictable. Back then, I watched the movie La La Land again and again, and it made me feel like I could keep going. Something about the music, the focus on creativity, the love story felt soothing to my system.

This time around my emotional support movie is American Symphony, a beautiful (and true) love story about creativity, overcoming odds, and fighting for survival with both joy and determination in the face of daunting circumstances. I watched it for what I think is the third time this week. And it is giving me both life and hope.
