LUNGS OUT

Lungs Out is a moving short documentary that follows Raymond as he honours his late father, John Lee, by running in the “Run Your Lungs Out” charity event for Cancer Care Manitoba. Blending intimate interviews, poignant flashbacks, and the visceral experience of race day, the film explores Raymond’s journey through grief, healing, and remembrance. As he prepares for and completes the run, viewers witness the transformative power of community support and personal perseverance, all set against a backdrop of moody, cinematic visuals and a heartfelt score. Ultimately, Lungs Out is a universal story about love, loss, and the enduring bonds between parent and child—reminding us all of the importance of honouring those we’ve lost through meaningful action.

WHY THIS STORY MATTERS:

Beyond Raymond’s personal story, Lungs Out highlights the broader impact of cancer on families and the importance of collective action. The documentary encourages viewers to not only remember their loved ones but to honour them through action—whether through running, supporting a cause, or simply sharing their stories.
