Live the life you please - feature documentary
Produced by multi-award-winning filmmakers, ‘Live the Life You Please’ boasts a treasure trove of incredible stories captured all around Australia, from cities and regional centres to remote communities. Told by medical professionals, patients, and their families, it is an intimate portrait of the end-of-life experience and makes profound observations about life, death and what happens in between.
It will make you smile, laugh, laugh harder and occasionally shed a tear as it shares the stories of a diverse range of Australians experiencing their last chapter. It will change the way you think about palliative care.
Their powerful stories will show you that palliative care is more than medicine. It’s about quality of life. It’s about providing physical, social, emotional and spiritual support to patients and their loved ones.
It’s about embracing every moment and living the life you please until the very end.
