Join us for a screening of The Last Ecstatic Days followed by restorative justice circles about community healing and collective death care. All are welcome!
Synopsis: Ethan Sisser, a young man with terminal brain cancer, began live-streaming his death journey on social media, and thousands of people around the world joined to celebrate his courage. Still, Ethan envisioned more - to teach the world how to die without fear. To do that, he needed to film his death. Honoring Ethan's wish, his doctor Aditi Sethi transported him to an idyllic house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. What unfolded is a story rarely glimpsed: how a community of strangers, friends, and loved ones helped a young man 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 takes his final breath.
-The Boston Globe called the film a "...courageous end-of-life chronicle, which overflows with compassion and shows us how to live mindfully while embracing curiosity about what lies beyond."
-Oscar-winning screenwriter David Seidler said: "After ten minutes I was ready to walk over broken glass to help this film."
-Author Leonard Pickard wrote, "As no other film has, The Last Ecstatic Days shows us a more noble way of dying."
