Summary: Life Before Death (/www.lifebeforedeath.com) is a moving documentary film that premiers February 1 of this year. It’s already won four awards including a Prestige Award, Best of Show in the Best Shorts Competition, an Accolade Award, and The Indie Fest Award. The film features the worldwide battle by physicians and nurses to stop the epidemic of pain that threatens to condemn one in every ten of us to die a painful death. Through the eyes of patients and their families, we experience very personally the agony of not having essential pain medicines like morphine, as well as the life-restoring effects that morphine can offer. Mike Hill, the director, writer, and producer joins us to share his vision for the film. Then Dr. Kathleen Foley, cancer pain & palliative care specialist, and featured expert in the documentary discusses solutions to this problem of universal dimensions.
