“Dying Wish is an extraordinary, beautifully

made film of a courageous physician facing

his final days with the help of a loving family

and a supportive hospice team.

It is thought-provoking and reassuring.

Highly recommended!”

Porter Storey, MD, Author and Executive Vice President, American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine

Michael Miller’s commentary on his last days provides the basis for discussion of cultural values and beliefs surrounding death. Dying Wish also stimulates discussion around autonomy and decision-making at the end of life, and shows how the lives and decisions of individuals can bring opportunities for social change.

Dying Wish is a poignant and powerful documentary of one man's inspired -- and inspiring -- decision to take control of his final exit. If you want to “go gentle into that good night,” and on your own terms, Dying Wish is required watching.

I have been a physician for over three decades, yet only rarely have I been one of the care givers of a terminal patient. This short film is profoundly moving and I recommend it to all students, trainees, physicians and care givers.
