LETTING GO: A HOSPICE JOURNEY

Directed by Albert Maysles, Deborah Dickson, Susan Froemke

1996 / 90min

Our medical system is geared toward healing patients. But what if there's no cure available? This moving, intimate documentary uses three cases to explore how hospice care prepares both terminally ill patients and their families for a gentle, safe passage. While patients are given comfort, companionship, dignity and peace, families are prepared for their inevitable loss.
