Prognosis: Notes on Living
Join Peaceful Presence, Out Central Oregon and BendFilm for an engaging film and post-screening discussion at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon.In perhaps her bravest act, Oscar-winning documentarian and LGBTQ+ activist Debra Chasnoff responds to her diagnosis of a deadly disease by turning the camera on herself, her wife, and their chosen family. What results is an emotionally raw, funny, and profoundly intimate story about hanging onto life, while preparing to let it go. Completed by a circle of her filmmaking peers, what results is clear-eyed and unsentimental; an unforgettable, present-tense diary of a life fiercely lived, and a love worth fighting for.Panelists:Jennifer Blechman, MD FAAHPM, Director of Palliative Care, Partners in CareErin Collins, MN RN CHPN, End of Life Doula and Program Director, Peaceful PresenceLeslie Bryan, Family Caregiver
