About Going Your Way
Going Your Way explores the personal, medical and spiritual issues surrounding end-of-life care, the options available, and steps that can be taken to put those wishes to practical use. The documentary’s title highlights the active role many people are now taking to ensure their death goes according to their own plans and wishes. Learn from the experts and real people who have stories to share about preparing for life and death. Going Your Way was produced by Nine PBS in collaboration with Oasis.

Parable of the Sower, by Octavia E. Butler, has thrilled science fiction readers since its release in 1994. The novel was awarded the New York Times Notable Book of the Year when it debuted. Since then, Butler’s Parable series (which remains unfinished after 1998's sequel Parable of the Talents) has continued to shape the minds of readers who enjoy post-apocalyptic science fiction focusing on themes of climate change and social inequality.
