About Going Home to Die
Our Mission
Join us on our journey creating a thought-provoking observational documentary asking the public the question, would you go home to die? We will showcase interviews with religious leaders, psychology professors and street interviews with people of diverse cultures and ages, in Toronto, Canada and Belfast, N. Ireland.
Our Story
A mother and son were inspired to make a documentary film, prompted by the maternal grandparents' return to Belfast from Canada. During their farewell dinner, the grandfather's candid admission of going home to die sparked the duo to explore the decisions individuals make as they approach the end of their lives.
