Can I Get A Witness - Film Screening
Hosted by Nelson & District Hospice Society

Date: Monday, 15 September
Venue: Capitol Theatre, Nelson
Time: 6:30 (Doors 6pm)
Tickets: $25

Join us for a community screening of the poignant documentary starring Sandra Oh, "Can I Get A Witness", a deeply moving exploration of death, dying, and human connection.
This film challenges the cultural silence around dying, shining a light on the importance of presence, ritual, and compassionate witnessing at the end of life. Through personal stories, interviews, and intimate scenes, "Can I Get A Witness" invites us to reimagine how we support one another through death and grief.
Following the screening, there will be a facilitated conversation and Q&A on topics of the Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) with Dr. Kelly Mieske, Dr. Trevor Janz and others well-versed in this topic.
This event is part of Nelson Hospice's ongoing commitment to creating open, supportive spaces for dialogue around death and dying.
Refreshments and raffle ticket sales available.
All are welcome - come with an open heart and curious mind
