I made this film about Rich Lerner, who used assisted dying legislation in Colorado to end his life in December. I interviewed Rich via WhatsApp before he died, collated footage from his friends and travelled to the US in March to film his daughter Amy and her husband Jake.
We joined the Oscar-winning cinematographer as he said his final goodbyes to his family and friends.
In Britain, the committee scrutinising the assisted dying bill for England and Wales has voted down an amendment to protect people with Down Syndrome. It’s added to concerns that it won’t offer enough protection to vulnerable or disabled people.
In other parts of the world, assisted dying is already legal.
A warning that this moving film contains distressing themes.
