Alumni Filmography filmmaker's note In the past twelve months, I have been on a remarkable journey with four people for whom travelling to the Lifecircle organisation in Switzerland for a voluntary assisted death has brought about impossibly difficult situations. Death is the inevitable end to life, but should we be supported to have what we consider to be a ‘good death’ whenever possible? More importantly, who should be allowed to define a ‘good death’? Recent landmark cases have highlighted the issues surrounding assisted suicide and may be shifting public opinion in the direction of greater freedom. However, this remains one of the most challenging and controversial debates of our time. related links
