A Time to Die
Duration: 1 x 90'
Play Screener Contact SalesWith incredible access to Dignitas in Switzerland, this heart-felt documentary examines the human cost of current laws on assisted dying following the personal stories of individuals and their families as they prepare to end their lives.
Some feel they have no option but to consider taking the risk of travelling abroad to end their suffering whatever the consequences for their loved ones, while others want to take matters into their own hands at home.
Professionals from each side of the debate express their views. A palliative care specialist explains why she and many of her peers are totally against a change in the law, while others speak of their fears for disabled people, the disadvantaged or minorities who they say will be most at risk if law is changed.
This programme asks if there is any answer that could satisfy both sides where life and death are quite literally at stake - or whether the delicate issue of assisted dying will remain unresolved.
Made by Oscar, Emmy and BAFTA-winning director Jon Blair and BAFTA-winning producer Rachel Cumella, A Time to Die delves deep into assisted dying, aiming to shed fresh light on a highly controversial issue.
