Film Screening - Plan 75

Speaker

Discussion following with Anne Allison and Robin Kirk

What does it mean to die well in a society where the family grave is no longer guaranteed? This is the question Dr. Anne Allison, professor of cultural anthropology at Duke, has spent the past decade exploring in her research on death and dying in Japan. Her work provides an uncanny mirror for global questions of aging, loneliness, and human rights - questions that resonate deeply alongside the upcoming screening of Plan 75, a Japanese film about state-sponsored euthanasia.
