Documentary | "Alternate Endings: Six New Ways To Die In America"

"Alternate Endings: Six New Ways To Die In America" is a documentary about creative ways to prepare for death and honor our dead. 

Directors: Matthew O’Neill, Perri Peltz

Part of the AARP film series "Dancing With Death: The Last Great Adventure": While death is often a taboo topic of conversation, it is inevitable for all of us. A series of award-winning films dealing with end-of-life issues will be shown at Pack Memorial Library on Fridays through December 8 from 2 - 5 p.m. 

The program is designed to help people better understand and become more comfortable talking about — and perhaps shifting their perspective on end-of-life experiences.

Each film will be followed by in-depth, thought-provoking, and death-positive discussions moderated by Gail Harris, National Emmy Award-winning journalist for PBS and NPR and former correspondent for ABC News Nightline and World News Tonight. These films by new and established filmmakers, animators, and actors about death and dying are entertaining and inspiring. Potential discussion topics will include legacy, the spiritual side of death, alternative ways to die, preparedness, facing fear, and finding courage.
