Zen & the Art of Dying, the latest documentary by filmmaker Broderick Fox, is a portrait of Zenith Virago, Australia’s premiere ‘deathwalker’ whose personal and professional experiences challenge our core assumptions about life and dissolve our taboos around death.
Zenith’s work models an international Natural Death Care Movement gaining momentum as Baby Boomers begin to retire and are demanding more personalized, empowered, and meaningful choices around end-of-life decision making, just as they did with the natural childbirth movement.
Fox will be attending the festival, along with Virago, who will be traveling from Australia to participate.
The film will screen twice: 10/31/2015, 12:00 PM – Rollins Theatre and 11/1/2015, 5:15 PM – Galaxy Highland Theater -Screen 8. Q&A’s with Fox and Virago will follow each screening.
Come join the global movement to #DoDeathDifferently
