Latest“Nature gives us a chance to have a last gift, which is really to give up our bodies so that there is more room for others to be born,” Sally, 84, told director Scott Z. Burns when he filmed her back in summer 2018. The piano player and singer, who passed away on October 27, 2018, was also an avid swimmer who imagined that dying might be like dissolving into water, or even turning into stardust.
As we approach death, each of us encounters a unique set of experiences and impressions-the sum of our time spent and our choices. It has been said that death is like a wall; as we near the wall, our instinct is to turn and face the past. Through a series of interviews with terminally ill men and women, The View From Here is an exploration of how life looks after a terminal diagnosis and before a final breath- an unflinching attempt to undo the taboos that keep us afraid and alone at the end.
