Vanishing Line, The

• 1998 ----- color ----- 52 min ----- vhs
• When does life become a fate worse than death? In this age of medical "miracles," an increasing number of doctors, patients and their families are being forced to deal with this troubling, complex and universal question. The Vanishing Line, a contemplative, personal film by physician/filmmaker Maren Monsen, explores the timeless implications of this modern medical dilemma. Dr. Monsen takes us on a lyrical and heartfelt quest to discover an "art of dying" in a world that taught her how to prolong life, but offered few prescriptions for coping with death.
• Topics: (Death and Dying, Family Life, Medicine, Nursing, Sociology)
