Films & Videos

After Cicely

AFTER CICELY explores the meaning of modern hospice and palliative care through the eyes of five inspiring women in Asia. Following the efforts of Cicely Saunders, these women have braved adversity with tenacity and heart to lighten the suffering of patients and help them die a good death. This is a visual journal of how they pave final journeys with empathy, dedication and love.

Life Before Death

LIFE Before Death is a multi-award winning documentary series that asks the fundamental question underpinning our mortality. This beautifully filmed journey takes us to 11 countries as we follow the remarkable health care professionals battling the sweeping epidemic of pain that threatens to condemn one in every ten of us to an agonizing and shameful death. Through the eyes of patients and their families, we discover the inherent humanity that empowers the best of us to care for those beyond cure.

Life Before Death Short Films

LIFE Before Death includes over 50 short films themed around pain control and end-of-life issues. These were released once a week for a year leading up to the feature film’s release. All the short films can be viewed here.

The Pain Project

The Pain Project is a documentary by the International Reporting Program on the situation in India, Ukraine and Uganda. The International Reporting Program found that “a combination of bureaucratic hurdles and the chilling effect of the global war on drugs are largely to blame, leaving humanitarians scrambling to work outside the law — or change the law — to bring relief to suffering patients all over the world.”
