About the event
Join the teams from Death Fest and LUA Project's Dias de los Meurtos in a screening of A Family Undertaking. This film explores the growing home funeral and natural burial movements through several family's personal experiences taking ownership of their loved one's funeral plans. This is a beautiful and approachable film that not only offers perspective on the many social, economic, and political considerations that drive end-of-life decisions, but also the deeply personal ones as well. Opportunity for group discussion and reflection will follow.
The film will have Spanish subtitles.
This event is open to the public, all are welcome.
