Mapping Love is a film that explores the geography of filmmaker Mary Alice McMillan's family past to learn why every woman in her family has developed breast cancer and where her own breast cancer-related genetic mutation may have originated. Her mom and aunt join her on a journey back to their birthplace in Niagara Falls, New York, just blocks away from the Love Canal Superfund site.


Mapping Love brings the viewer along on this intimate and sometimes-infuriating journey as these women wrestle with the generational effects of a massive environmental disaster, prove the resilience of their family, and make life-altering decisions about their health.

The Original Soundtrack for the film was written and recorded by Joshua Altman
