Greenlit: Extremis, Netflix
Extremis (1 x 24′) – A verité documentary exploring the harrowing decisions that doctors, families and patients face in urgent end-of-life cases. With extraordinary access to the intensive care unit of a public hospital (Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA), the film offers a uniquely intimate look at the intersection of science, faith, and humanity.
The film draws its power from stories of ordinary people grappling with intensely profound questions, fostering a sense of empathy for individuals with a diversity of backgrounds and beliefs, all facing the same human truth. As one physician says in the film, “everyone in this room is going to die someday. It’s good to have a say in how.”
