Non-medical books and movies about alopecia

Dear Members,

I am interested in books and movies (documentaries) that present/describe/explain individual experience with alopecia and coping, It can be helpful to compose a sort of bibliography, i believe. SO far I found 2 books and one movie. I would really appreciate other suggestions from you. Thanks in advance!

Here are those:
1. Jody Pliszka "Bald is beautiful."
2. LeslieAnn Butler If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing
3. Christina Hörlund Importance of hair /(Vikten av)hår/, movie

Just want to add new information to our collection. I found a list of good books about alopecia on Alopecia UK http://www.alopeciaonline.org.uk/books-about-alopecia.asp with brief reviews. Those titles are:
Mandy Ross (2011) Alopecia: My Story

Nigel Hunt and Sue McHale (2004) Coping with Alopecia

Wendy Thompson, Jerry Shapiro (1996) Alopecia Areata, Understanding and Coping with Hair Loss

Elizabeth Steel (1999) The Hair Loss Cure, How to Treat Alopecia and Thinning Hair

Hunt and McHale are familiar to me from some of their academic publications which I found very interesting and quite deep analysis, so I am looking forward to read their book.
