At 31, filmmaker Joanna Rudnick faces an impossible decision: remove her breasts and ovaries or risk incredible odds of developing cancer.  Armed with a genetic test result that leaves her vulnerable and confused, she balances dreams of having her own children with the unnerving reality that she is risking her own life by holding onto her fertility.  "In the Family" follows Joanna as she connects with other women trying to navigate the unpredictable world of predictive genetic testing.   Intensely personal and timely, this provocative film asks the question: How much do you sacrifice to survive?
