Join us, the Virginia Film Festival, the Virginia Festival of the Book, and the UVA Bookstore for a virtual screening and discussion of the documentary When My Time Comes.
About the Film: After the death of her beloved husband John Rehm, Peabody-award winner Diane Rehm began to examine the option of medical aid in dying. After a long battle with Parkinson’s disease, Diane’s late husband sought medical assistance in dying but found it was not a legal option where they lived. Interweaving the Rehms’ experience with those of other patients and families across the U.S. and expert opinion, this documentary feature offers a moving and informative examination of the right to die movement and the facts and the misinformation surrounding this controversial practice.
A discussion with director Joe Fab, producer Diane Naughton, and subject Diane Rehm, moderated by Jim Childress, will occur live via Zoom on Thursday, October 22, at 5:30 PM. A private link to register for the live Zoom conversation will be emailed to all passholders and patrons who unlock this event prior to the scheduled conversation.
