About the documentary
Ethan Sisser was a yogi, massage therapist, and health coach who was unexpectedly called to show the world how to die.
An exuberantly healthy professional body worker in his mid-30s, Ethan was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2019. He lived with severe illness for 18 months after that, often in great pain, and came to Asheville, N.C. to die in community, and to try to share his story with the world.
Ethan chose with clarity and great conviction to share his end-of-life experiences with the world via social media, and now in “The Last Ecstatic Days,” the movie that documents the last 15 days of his remarkable life.
