I've seen the photographs of her children before, in a shorter documentary on her life and work. This extended documentary dug a bit deeper into her life, possibly a little deeper than I wanted to go, but it was interesting nonetheless. They was she approaches life in general is fascinating, not anything like myself or really anyone I know - this is evident in her work. Though I can't say I see eye to eye with her on everything. I was admittedly a little disturbed by the segment on corpses, not because I have a problem with seeing images of corpses, but more because her I couldn't connect with why she would want to take so many of those photos in the first place. I agree that the body is only a shell of the self, but then she goes on to glorify it - seemed a bit contradictory to me.
