My Breast Friend Sam

Producer: Nicole Keating

"My Breast Friend Sam" is a light-hearted tragicomedy about breastfeeding, and focuses on "Sam" – a lactation consultant in Philadelphia who takes us behind the scenes of her daily working life. She entertains and enlightens with hilarious anecdotes and pearls of wisdom as she supports breastfeeding women. "My Breast Friend Sam" is the third part of a trilogy entitled Three Women in the City of Brotherly Love. The second part ("Hair Appointment for Josie, An American Beauty") aired on Philadelphia Stories (Season 3). All three parts of the trilogy focus on strong female characters who reflect the irrepressible spirit of the city surrounding them.
