The film tells the remarkable tale of Jean-Dominique Bauby (Mathieu Amalric), the world-renowned editor of French ELLE magazine, who suffered a stroke and was paralyzed by the inexplicable "locked in" syndrome at the age of 43. Bauby's only way of communicating with the outside world was by blinking with one eye, and after several dedicated helpers--a string of impossibly beautiful women (Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josee Croze, Olatz Lopez Garamendia, Anne Consigny)--helped him to speak through this seemingly irrelevant gesture, he began to produce the words that would form his memoir. Along the way, as he swam in and out of consciousness, memories from his past swelled into the present, resulting in a cinematic experience that is at once heartbreaking and hopeful.
Inner city residents receive hospice care a third less often than the national average. This presentation will describe recent efforts by Friends Hospice, a full-service Quaker hospice agency, to provide end-of-life care for and to affirm "That of God" in all people regardless of socioeconomic status, financial resources, and/or disability. This presentation/workshop will address the following questions: - what is the experience of dying for inner city residents with challenges of poverty, mental illness, and other socioeconomic issues? -how can cultural and educational barriers to care be addressed? -how do we support individuals and families whose life experience can be different from our own?
