SUMMARY:"Jack Has A Plan" Film Screening and Panel Discussion 2-17
DESCRIPTION:Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Santa Cruz County\, February 17\, 2024\, 2-5 PM\nJack Has A Plan is the story of Jack Tuller whose career as a budding San Francisco musician was altered in 1994\, when he was diagnosed with a terminal condition and given six months to live. This documentary tells the story of the following 24 years as Jack dodges one bullet after the next.  But Jack somehow turns his predicament into a left Coast art-performance project\, complete with experimental movies\, diaries\, and funky dance moves. Finally\, Jack engineers a graceful exit from life’s stage. San Francisco Examiner says “As joyous\, thrilling and funny as any film about death could be.” \nThe film will be followed by a Q &A/panel discussion including Bradley Berman\, director of the film; Jim Van Buskirk; Final Exit Network\, FEN Regional Director; and Judy Epstein\, End of Life Choices California\, Executive Director. \nPlease share this information with your family and friends! \nFor more information\, call: 831-454-8467 \n———- \nEnd of Life Choices California’s mission is to provide Californians the information and support to successfully navigate their legal end-of-life options.  Relevant topics include Advance Care Planning; the California End of Life Option Act (EOLA); eligibility requirements for Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD); and Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)–a legal option in all 50 states. Our volunteers are very knowledgeable about both hospice and palliative care and can explain the differences between the two services. \nBe sure to check our Resources page for Q/A; information on books\, films\, and organizations; sign up for our blog; see upcoming events; and so much more.  To request a speaker for your group or organization\, click here.
