Other side
This is a story about choice, not death.
Lynda Bluestein would not take 'no' for an answer. Because Medical Aid in Dying is not legal in Connecticut, Lynda is forced to find another way to die peacefully.
Other Side is an intimate and gripping look into what it takes to legally die on one’s own terms in the United States. The feature-length documentary delves into the systemic, familial and emotional complexities of navigating an untrodden medical landscape while terminally ill.
