The Film
A gripping investigative documentary that exposes the tangled web of profit motives and moral dilemmas surrounding assisted dying. Disabled filmmaker Reid Davenport uncovers unimaginable abuses of power while amplifying the voices of disabled individuals fighting for justice and dignity in an unfolding matter of life and death.
In 1983, Elizabeth Bouvia, a disabled Californian woman, sought the "right to die," sparking a national debate on 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 uncover the truth and explain why her story remains disturbingly relevant today.
LIFE AFTER brings together the missing voices of the disability community in the ongoing debate about assisted dying, uncovering shocking stories of disabled people dying prematurely. Davenport exposes the intersection of systemic failures and personal autonomy, challenging the idea that assisted dying always represents a free choice, revealing how it can sometimes be seen as the only option.
