A Story of Endings: Documentary Film Screening

Directed and self-produced by Lucy Pijnenburg, the film follows the work of four death doulas and opens up conversations on topics ranging from advance care planning to our fears around death. Its intention is simple but profound: to help us see death as a natural and meaningful part of life.

After the screening, we’ll gather for a short Q&A and a chance to explore Let’s Talk About Endings, a conversation card deck created by Lucy to help people share stories, reflect, and connect around life’s endings. The evening will be facilitated by death doula Dina Smirnova, who is one of the featured subjects in the film.

Arrive a little early (from 6:15 pm) for a welcoming cup of tea. We’ll begin the film promptly at 6:30 pm.
