Ain’t Got Time To Die

Synopsis

For years, Rachel Heisham lived in small-town Pennsylvania, surviving abusive lovers, addiction, illness, and poverty. At age 45, she decided to start a new life, moving to Montana to live out of her RV. But her past comes back to haunt her.

The bouts of cancer that have plagued Rachel for most of her adult life are not over. She was told by doctors that she only has two months to live. The documentary, ""Ain’t Got Time to Die,"" explores Rachel's journey of self-discovery juxtaposed with her battle with cancer. The film starts with an open-ended question: how do you want to be seen? ""As a fighter,"" Rachel says. ""As a survivor.""

In the course of making the documentary, Martin Krafft, the filmmaker, becomes immersed in Rachel's life, spending weeks sleeping on her RV couch, driving her to doctor's appointments, and fundraising for her living expenses. The film looks candidly at conflicts between the subject and filmmaker, striving to give agency to Rachel to frame how she is seen.

As her illness progresses, Martin grapples with how much support he is able to offer her. After fighting for years to survive, Rachel has to face the biggest challenge of her life.

This film is shot, directed, and produced by Martin Krafft.
