About the film

LIFE AFTER probes the legacy of Elizabeth Bouvia — a disabled woman who, at the age of 26, sought “the right to die,” provoking a national debate about autonomy, dignity, and the value of disabled lives. Disabled filmmaker Reid Davenport uncovers chilling echoes of her 1983 case in contemporary stories of disabled people dying prematurely — at their own hands and from a broken health care system.
