Death Matters: A Public Dialogue Film Series was created in partnership between the John Dossetor Health Ethics Centre and the Arts & Humanities in Health & Medicine (AHHM) program at the University of Alberta to foster thoughtful dialogue exploring the challenges and opportunities for meaningful death and dying through the evocative power of film.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with researchers and health professionals on death and bereavement.
Free admission.
