"Facing Death" - Mortality Movie Viewing ad Discussion

FRONTLINE gains access to the ICU of one of New York’s biggest hospitals to examine the complicated reality of today’s modern, medicalized death. Here, we find doctors and nurses struggling to guide families through the maze of end-of-life choices they now confront: whether to pull feeding and breathing tubes, when to perform expensive surgeries and therapies or to call for hospice. The film also offers an unusually intimate portrait of patients facing the prospect of dying in ways that they might never have wanted or imagined.​ ## Ekstrom Columbus Library ## ​Saturday, November 14th, ## Doors open: 2:15 ## Viewing from 2:30- 3:30 ## Discussion from 3:30 to 4:15 pm.
