In the first two minutes of this film, we witness the last moments of Roger Sagner’s life. He thanks his family for their love and support. And then he thanks the voters of Oregon for allowing him to end his own life. It’s not such an odd choice for one’s final words when you consider that almost all states outlaw physician-assisted suicide. The primary subject of this astoundingly powerful film about dying with dignity is a vibrant 54-year-old mother named Cody who has terminal cancer but whose body won’t give up. When her hand-picked final day arrives, she’s infused with new energy and, dare she say it, hope, all the while checking off items on her last to-do list. Director Peter Richardson’s approach to a very difficult topic is as compassionate as it is unflinching. Viewers have the privilege of observing people’s most private moments as they grapple with profound and controversial decisions. And, in the end, the message is unexpectedly comforting. “It was easy folks,” Roger Sagner says, “It was easy.”  RYS
