Lessons for the Living 2010

Directed by Lily Frances Henderson

This vivid documentary captures a diverse set of Hospice volunteers as they reflect on the meaning of their experiences with dying people. In ten uniquely different character vignettes, we see how hospice offers more than care for dying patients. LESSONS FOR THE LIVING doesn't give us bullet point answers, nor does it cradle us in a heavenly cloud of promise. It humbles us; even if we just sit and listen.
