Sally Pacholok
Featuring a post-Film Q&A with Chevy Chase-based writer/director/producer Elissa Leonard, lead actress Annet Mahendru and composer Charlie Barnett.
When nurse Sally Pacholok (Annet Mahendru, TV’s “The Americans”) learns that her recent bouts of dizziness and fatigue are the result of a B-12 deficiency, she tries unsuccessfully to educate doctors at her hospital about this debilitating, often fatal condition, which mimics multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, dementia, and a host of better-known diseases. As she watches misdiagnosed patients wasting away and dying, she decides to write a book. Based on a true story and filmed locally in Maryland.
Elissa Leonard is a writer, producer and director from Chevy Chase Maryland. SALLY PACHOLOK, her first feature film, was named Best Feature at the 2015 DC Independent Film Festival.
