“Time itself took on this very elastic, very intensified quality. He was really seeking such connection and intimacy in those final days.”

One of the many films screening at MIFF is MAN ON EARTH, a documentary described as an unfaltering, compassionate exploration of voluntary assisted dying. It captures the final days of Bob Rosenzweig. He is a 65-year old Jewish man suffering from Parkinson’s disease and has made the decision to end his life. Host Flick Ford is joined by the director of MAN ON EARTH, Amiel Courtin-Wilson.
