My Mother’s Garden by Cynthia Lester

by Simon Hilton on Sun 13 May 2007


My Mother’s Garden explores one woman’s extreme attachment to material objects and her emotional struggle to let go of them. The film documents a family’s journey as Cynthia Lester and her three brothers come together to help thier mother, Eugenia Lester, with her acute case of Compulsive Hoarding Disorder, a disorder that affects over one million people in the USA alone.

When her disorder reaches a crisis point the family is forced to intervene and clean the house, despite her resistance. The film documents this process, as well as its painful, but ultimately healing aftermath.
