About the event
Advancing the death awareness movement, to make death a part of life again and ensure healthy human processes in community in the present and for our future generations, we identify and connect with individuals, communities, institutions and organizations that work and serve in the field of loss, grief and the end of life, to define the network that sustains us, and through which we can achieve our goals in community for the greatest collective benefit.
In this virtual event with members of this great community we shared an impressive screening and discussion of The Last Ecstatic Days, the documentary about a young man with brain cancer who shares his death with the world.
About the film
Ethan Sisser, a young man with terminal brain cancer, sits alone in his hospital room. When he starts livestreaming his death journey on social media, thousands of people around the world join to celebrate his courage. Still, Ethan envisions more – to teach the world how to die without fear. To do that, he needs to film his death.
Honoring Ethan's wish, his doctor Aditi Sethi transports him to an idyllic house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. What unfolds next is a story rarely glimpsed: how a community of strangers helps a young man die with grace.
A sensory immersion into leaving the body, “The Last Ecstatic Days” reveals a man who will not let us forget him – even after he’s taken his final breath.
