Documentarian Reid Davenport uses a disabled woman’s 1983 legal battle to end her life as the jumping-off point to explore assisted dying and the disabled community. Bringing his own first-person experiences as a disabled man to the film, Davenport presents a nuanced, thoughtful exploration of an issue that’s far thornier than you might think, in the process exposing shocking gaps in health care coverage, the social safety net, and basic human empathy. The film, which won a Special Documentary Jury award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, will be followed by a Q&A with Davenport and special guests, presented by local nonprofit AustinINConnection. – Kimberley Jones
