| Summary |
This is two-part film about three very different people, Steve, Mary and Judy, who want the right to choose how and when they die. In Australia, assisting them to die is illegal and carries a 14-year jail sentence, despite the fact that 73% of Australians support euthanasia. But the prospect of dying a long and painful death drives these three people to extraordinary lengths to get access to the means to choose their own kind of death. As Steve, Mary and Judy challenge the status quo, the laws governing euthanasia in Australia are put to the test |
