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.
