A Time to Die (1979x25)

:

The dying become like little children: dependent, vulnerable, in need of loving security. Too often nurses treat their terminal cases as failures, and isolate them in the hour of their need. Everymanhas filmed in St Joseph's Hospice, Hackney, where a very different approach to dying: 'It's not so much that you lose anything here, but bit by bit you have to give things back. You give back your sight. You give back your hearing. You give back your friends. Then one day you finish by giving back yourself.'
