No Way to Die

Directed by Marc de Guerre
2024    44mDocumentary
In 2016, Canada became one of a handful of countries in the world to offer Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) to terminally ill patients. Since 2021, the Canadian government has been planning to further extend MAiD to people whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental disorder. It became one of the most toxic and contentious debates in Canadian medical and parliamentary history, and highlighted a striking lack of compassion, empathy and understanding towards people who have been suffering from profound mental anguish for decades. NO WAY TO DIE follows two deeply mentally ill individuals, Jane Hunter and Savannah Meadows, both of whom had been planning to apply for MAiD, watching in sadness, anger and torment as a phalanx of opponents launch a ferocious (and often misleading) effort to halt the government's plan to offer relief to people like them-people who are out of resiliency and out of options.
