Four visionaries stand out in the history of the modern hospice movement. This film tells their story.

What they saw of the process of dying changed their lives. They were appalled, not by the natural act itself, but how our society hides it, denies it, misunderstands it and fails utterly to cope with it.

Meet Dame Cicely Saunders, Florence Wald, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and Balfour Mount.

Their work inspired a movement felt around the world. Over the past five decades, end-of-life care has been dramatically transformed.

The makers of this film traveled to three countries to interview these remarkable pioneers. The result is a documentary of historic importance, and a riveting film. Running time 49:20 minutes.
