Join KQED for an exclusive sneak preview of Into the Night: Portraits of Life and Death - An Intimate Explorations of Human Mortality, narrated by Oscar-nominated actress Sharon Stone. Following the preview, join us in a conversation between the film's producer and director, Helen Whitney, and Michael Krasny, host of Forum.
How do we live with death in our eye? With defiant rage as Dylan Thomas exhorts us? With gentle acceptance? Clenched fists? Mordant humor? Or, more commonly, with denial? What is our story and will it sustain us at the end? Into th Night features nine men and women of uncommon eloquence and intelligence grappling with these questions. For them, death is no longer an abstraction, far off into the future. They come from all walks of life, all ages, the dying and the healthy, believers and skeptics, some recognizable, some obscure. They have been shocked into mortality and are forever changed.
Oscar-nominated, Emmy, Peabody and DuPont winnging filmmaker Helen Whitney has been a producer, director and writer for documentaries and feature films since 1976. Her renoned works for PBS include Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero, The Mormons, and Frontline's John Paul II; The Millennial Pope.
Space is limited Admission is free. Complimentary valet parking provided.
Into the Night: Portraits of Life and Death - An Intimate Explorations of Human Mortality, narrated by Oscar Award nominated actress Sharon Stone premieres on Monday, March 26 at 9:00pm on KQED 9.
