"Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker John Zaritsky,
The Suicide Tourist is a portrait of Craig Ewert's final days as the Chicago
native pursues a physician-assisted suicide in the one place where it's legal
for foreigners to come to end their lives: Switzerland. With unique access to
Dignitas, the Swiss nonprofit that has helped more than 1,000 people die since
1998, The Suicide Tourist follows Ewert as he debates the morality -- and
confronts the reality -- of choosing to die before his disease further ravages
his body, and he loses the option to die without unbearable suffering." 2010. 55 minutes Frontline Information and Video Link.
This is a memorable and thought-provoking documentary.
