THE LAST ECSTATIC DAYS

Inspired by Ethan Sisser, a young man afflicted with brain cancer who began documenting his journey on social media, a devoted team of death workers transported him to a quiet house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. What unfolded in Ethan’s final weeks is an intimate story that has never been told in a documentary feature: how a community came together to help a dying man find healing through release. 

CLI is an official Outreach Partner for the film, and Hannah Fowler, from our esteemed Advisory Board, is one of the film’s producers. The film is set to be released in 2023, but you can view the trailer HERE and also view a recording of “The Last Ecstatic Days: A Conversation About Community Care” HERE: an event recently held by Reimagine and CLI about communal caregiving at the bedside, which featured Hannah Fowler.
