Being Here Now: A Journey Through Death and Dying

Being Here Now: A Journey through Death and Dying is a personal and educational look at a difficult and awkward topic in contemporary society. The film presents a first-hand, personal account of two individuals facing terminal cancer, along with their thoughts and emotions during the last few months of their lives. Elsie Duhon and Ed Wilson discuss their fears, pain management, and life-ever-after. This film includes interviews with the people most involved in their day-to-day struggles. Elsie's daughter openly discusses the exhaustion, frustration, anger, and myriad of conflicting emotions that surface as her role of primary caregiver evolves. Ed's companion explores the strength, hope, and love Ed has shared with her over the years and how these qualities are what enable her to see a life for herself beyond his death.
