SUMMARY:Life After
DESCRIPTION:LIFE AFTER is a gripping investigative documentary that exposes the tangled web of moral dilemmas and profit motives surrounding assisted dying. Disabled filmmaker Reid Davenport uncovers shocking abuses of power while amplifying the voices of the disability community fighting for justice and dignity in an unfolding matter of life and death. \nIn 1983\, a disabled Californian woman named Elizabeth Bouvia sought the “right to die\,” igniting a national debate about the autonomy and the value of disabled lives. After years of courtroom battles\, Bouvia vanished from public view. Sundance-winner Davenport embarks on a personal investigation to find out what really happened to Bouvia and reveal why her story is disturbingly relevant today. \nLIFE AFTER brings together the missing voices of the disability community in the ongoing debate about assisted dying. Disabled people continue to face premature death–whether through the horrific case of Michael Hickson\, who was left to die by a Texas hospital\, or the heart-wrenching choice of Jerika Bolen\, a Wisconsin teen who received support from her community to end her life. Davenport’s exploration takes him to Canada\, where regulations surrounding Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) have been expanded to allow disabled individuals unprecedented access–even when their deaths are not reasonably foreseeable. In Ontario\, Davenport meets Michal Kaliszan\, a disabled computer programmer who once considered MAID as his only option to avoid entering an institution.
