Filmed over three intimate years, the documentary captures Marieke’s journey as she confronts the ultimate choice: when and how to end her suffering under Belgium’s euthanasia law. Rather than a story about death, this is a powerful celebration of life, autonomy, and the human spirit’s capacity to find meaning even in the face of unimaginable suffering.

Drawing on the conceptual framework in his recent book, "Borders and Belonging," Professor Motomura will offer answers to these questions. USD School of Law on Facebook / Instagram
