Scattered throughout are stories that cut to the core revealing why this small band have decided to take on a practice that for most is taboo. As their plans for community-based funerals gather momentum one of their own is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The films offers an alternative model of end of life care challenging current medial and commercial establishments. TENDER is at once a heartbreakingly beautiful and beautifully funny glimpse of an extraordinary community taking on one of the most essential challenges of human life... its end. Possibly the cheekiest and most life-affirming documentary on the concept of death and dying since Errol Morris' 'Gates of Heaven' - VarietyA film about dying that is all about living. Tender, and funny, and deeply moving. - Andrew Denton, Australian television producer 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 653 Medicine 653 Nursing 653 Religion & Philosophy 700 1 Wallworth, Lynnette,|efilmmaker 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/142513|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/142513/external -image
