The highly controversial issue of assisted suicide is explored in the new documentary “Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die”. The film, which is directed by award-winning filmmaker Charlie Russell, follows the journey of the late Sir Terry Pratchett, a renowned author, and advocate for assisted dying, as he investigates the issue from various perspectives.
One of the most striking aspects of the film is the level of nuance and complexity with which it approaches the subject matter. The film does not shy away from the difficult and often emotionally charged debates surrounding assisted suicide, but instead seeks to explore the issue from a variety of viewpoints. Pratchett’s own personal experiences with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2007, provide a powerful and personal perspective on the topic.
The film is not just informative, but it is also emotionally powerful. It offers a unique and powerful perspective on the complexities of assisted suicide. The film raises important questions about the right to die, the importance of autonomy and self-determination, and the limits of medical treatment and care.
The film is not only a tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett but also a powerful and thought-provoking examination of one of the most pressing issues of our time. It is a must-watch for anyone interested in the topic of assisted dying and the ethical and moral questions it raises.
