Join us for a death and dying film screening and discussion series using films to foster open, compassionate community dialogue around end-of-life planning, death, dying, post-death care, and bereavement. This community-centered program seeks to help break cultural taboos and ease the fear of the unknown by bringing people together to share perspectives. Hosted by Cape Cod Community Death Education, with discussion facilitated by Heather Massey, Kyle Banks, and others of the facilitation team. This is an in-person event.
The November film selection is “Dying Green”. Set in the foothills of the Appalachians, this film explores one man’s vision of using green burials to conserve land. Dr. Billy Campbell, the town’s only physician, and his efforts have radically changed our understanding of burials in the United States. Dr. Campbell’s dream is to conserve one million acres of land. Dying Green focuses on the revolutionary idea of using our own death to fund land conservation and create wildlife preserves.
