Join the Fernie Pride Society, Elk Valley Suicide Task Force, Elk Valley Hospice, and the Nell Smith Memorial Fund for a special screening of Come See Me in the Good Light on Monday, October 19 at 7:00 PM at The Arts Station. Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) is an intimate documentary directed by Ryan White that chronicles a year in the lives of acclaimed spoken-word poet Andrea Gibson and their wife and fellow poet Megan Falley as they navigate Gibson's terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis.
Two poets, one incurable cancer diagnosis. Andrea Gibson, the poet laureate of Colorado, and their partner, Megan Falley, go on a funny and poignant journey through love, life, and mortality. Coming from a rural town in Maine and (self-admittedly) not knowing all that many words, Andrea is still amazed they’ve made a career out of writing and performing poems. Through their poetry, Andrea has inspired hundreds of thousands. When Andrea was diagnosed with cancer, everything changed. The two poets discover that life is best lived between the big moments of victory and despair, where the small moments come alive to be cherished. Come See Me in the Good Light is an invitation to love better, laugh harder, and consider how accepting mortality can plant the seeds of bliss. Andrea’s journey is not a story about dying; it’s a story about living.
This moving and deeply human film explores love, grief, resilience, and connection through moments of vulnerability and hope. Everyone is welcome for an evening of community.
Tickets are pay-what-you-can with a suggested minimum of $5.00.
