Award-winning filmmaker Sue Bourne wanted to make a film about living, not dying. She set out to find people of all ages who had managed to find positives in their terminal prognosis and were making the most of the time they had left.
The twelve people in this thought-provoking and uplifting film range from their twenties to their late sixties. They speak eloquently and inspiringly about what they’ve discovered really matters in life. They smile and laugh and try not to cry because they say that crying and being sad is a waste of the precious time they have left. Some say they feel privileged to have been told how much time they have left.

thank you for sharing! This is so mind blowing! So educational! So inspiring!
Beautiful documentary ❤❤
You are a special wise woman. Love and best wishes HUGS from me
To die young with people around you, who still love and care about you. Or to die of old age, with no one around that cares for you. Which one is better, I still don't know???
Remarkable! Cheers to you all!
We are all walking corpses.

we are ALL terminal
unlucky for me I have central nervous system type of pain. I do not know how long I have endure the debilitating pain..
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had chemo and some radiation therapy. I was supposed to have biological therapy but my now ex husband took me off of insurance and divorced me. Luckily the company Genentech gave me the medicine for free. I paid the hospital and admin. Thank the good Lord
For my daughters and sister who loved and cared for me.
I’m not afraid to die.
One day, I will die. Every other day, I will live.
This marvelous woman who lives in her soul home, her primitive cottage said something incredible and probably not a popular philosophy, but I found it to be very relatable. At 50:26, She said, ''This might sound perverse, but I've always wanted to have some pain, so that my body speaks to me."
Such a beautiful documentary. Thank you. ❤
This film made me so sad knowing all these beautiful existences are gonna be/have been taken from us 😔
I wonder if some of these wonderful people are still alive ?

I feel bad for the boy that got sent away by his dying mom. That's only going to screw him up. Such a bizarre choice.
Bravo to all you brave brave people. ❤️.
