| Summary |
A deeply moving and revelatory documentary that captures the last years of five individuals in the process of dying. In preparation for this unique project, the filmmakers trained to be end-of-life doulas and documented hundreds of hours of interactions with their subjects. The Doula works with the dying person, along with those surrounding them, to help design, guide and support their wishes for whatever a “good death” might mean for them. “In our culture, almost everyone fears death,” says Ram Dass, the noted spiritual teacher and author, and one of this documentary’s subjects. By approaching death as closely as possible, END OF LIFE allows for viewers to reflect on their own feelings and responses to the human body and mortality. Official Selection at the **New York Film Festival**. |
