- Synopsis
So far, 35,431 South Koreans have chosen to die.
The "Dying-Well" law was passed February 4th of 2018 in South Korea, where terminally ill patients would finally have the right to choose to opt out of life-prolonging treatment. Patients have chosen to "die with dignity" rather than suffer in a state of barely being alive.
And we're going to cover the human beings that are choosing to die.
As we follow a family who is exercising this new right to pass on their own terms, we learn what it means to die freely and obtain the freedom of choice from a demographic that is hardly represented in the media with their own voice.
This is a story about liberation for those who have patiently waited so long for it. Only this is a different kind of liberation; It is deeper than the right to live. It is the freedom of choice. It is the right to die.
