This highly moving and controversial documentary about the freedom to die with dignity is already attracting considerable attention. With remarkable sensitivity and consideration for her subjects, the director filmed different individuals with a terminal illness who courageously agreed to share their feelings about their approaching death and their desire to die as they choose and without unnecessary suffering. Let Me Die is Lina B. Moreco's second film under this program, and the other five resident directors will be completing their second films during the year. All seem very promising. Here's a brief glimpse of what we can look forward to.
Young filmmakers are also well represented.
Three powerful, exciting and disturbing works.
