Reviews:
"A superb series."—Booklist<br> "To accompany the dying is to find something of the divine within ourselves. Somehow, by force of exquisite insight and a unique kind of empathy for his subjects and his audience, Bill Moyers has enabled us to do it. It is an extraordinary accomplishment."—The New York Times<br> "The series is the first of its kind to bring the camera into this intimate milieu and to explore the dilemmas, humor, and victories of the dying, as well as of their families and caregivers."—Modern Maturity<br> "The series … eloquently depicted the personal and institutional dilemmas around how we die."—The Washington Post<br> Highly recommended by MC Journal: The Journal of Academic Media Librarianship.
