Four visionaries stand out in the history of the modern hospice movement.  What they saw of the process of dying changed their lives.  They were appalled, not by the natural act itself, but how our society hides it, denies it, misunderstands it and fails utterly to cope with it.The makers of this film traveled to three countries to interview theses remarkable pioneers.  The result of these reminiscenses with the early founders of hospice is a documentary of historic importance and a riveting film.
