Life After | TVO Docs

In 1983, a disabled Californian woman named Elizabeth Bouvia sought the "right to die," igniting a national debate about autonomy, dignity, and the value of disabled lives. After years of courtroom trials, Bouvia disappeared from public view. Disabled director Reid Davenport narrates this investigation of what happened to Bouvia and her story's relevance today. LIFE AFTER coalesces the missing voices of the disability community in the contemporary debate about assisted dying.
