Last Flight Home

"Last Flight Home" is a very moving experience. It illustrates perfectly the right to die debate. Although everyone agrees that people have the right to live life as they choose it, there is no agreement on the right to choose how to end one's life. Where the law allows it, all these rules and procedures are put in place. This movie illustrates the affect these 'safeguards' have on the people involved. It leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.....

"Last Flight Home" is a deeply moving film that is destined to start conversations between people and families and will shift the debate around right to die laws in the United States and the world. Timoner invites you into her family, a sprawling tribe of creatives and personalities, and through impeccable technique using personal archival video and images allows you as the viewer to see her father as they see him, as the "good man" he always strived to be. As her father battles his inner demons talking with Ondi and his daughter/rabbi, the viewer is asked to reflect on what it means to life a life worth living. What makes a "good life"? This simple film asks the deepest questions and is a moving portrait of a individual and a family coming to grips with loss by injecting a man's last hours with buckets of joy. Don't miss this film. Share it with your friends and family and see where the experience takes you.

Last Flight Home is a documentary that had me thinking about it long after I finished watching. I felt as though I was a quiet observer in the Timoners' living room, watching fifteen days go by filled with grief but mostly a huge amount of love.

I am extremely moved by the family's bravery and willingness to welcome us into their home at a most difficult and vulnerable time in their life. We watched it as a family and the conversation continued and still continues. It was truly thought provoking! This documentary has triggered us to dig deep and reflect on our personal meaning of life, death, love and dignity.

It is a conversation everyone will need to have and this movie has encouraged us not to be afraid to talk about it. Thank you to Eli and his entire family for sharing their experience with the world.

Last Flight Home is a profoundly moving and emotional film that so wonderfully captures the life of a beloved father-the kind of person we all wish we had in our life. It's an important film on the issue of assisted suicide but it's also life affirming and inspiring for anyone who's loved or lost someone.
