Being Mortal

This Emmy-nominated documentary follows surgeon and writer Atul Gawande as he confronts the hardest conversations in medicine: those about death and dying. It explores why even doctors struggle to talk honestly with patients about being mortal, and what it means to face the end well. The film is candid, humane, and unflinching about the limits of medicine. A moving watch for anyone interested in end-of-life care, medicine, and the human experience of mortality. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
