What Dying at Grace Is About
The documentary was filmed in a palliative care ward. The ward is at the Grace hospital in Toronto. The last days of five patients were recorded. All five had advanced cancer. The crew stayed on the ward for three months. There are no interviews. There is no narration and no music. The camera shows what happens as it happens. The patients speak when they want to speak. Families come into the rooms and leave them. The work of the care team is in the frame as well. The film does not hide death. All five patients die by the end of it. Everyone who took part agreed to this knowing what it was. The method is that of direct cinema. Phyllis Bobbitt and Joyce Bone appear in the one hundred forty eight minute documentary. It is a Canadian production Allan King finished in 2003.
