[Videolib] Frontline An Appointment with Death 1994

2011-05-03 Thread Randal Baier
Does anyone know if Frontline has reissued any of their earlier episodes in DVD 
formats. Looking for the following, used heavily in our philosophy program: 



An Appointment with death 


a production of K.A. Productions in association with TVOntario for Frontline 
and The Health Quarterly ; Virginia Storring, producer ; John Zaritsky, 
writer/director. 

[Alexandria, Va.] : distributed by PBS Video, 1994. 
If anyone has any suggestions for more recent productions, I'd be interested in 
that also.

working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.

There are many Frontline programs available online, but this doesn’t appear to 
be one of them. Rats.

I assume it deals assisted suicide?

With long running PBS series, we’ve had luck in the past contacting the 
production company directly to get OOP episodes from their back catalog. And 
sometimes they’re free ☺

Randal,

Filmakers Library has a wonderful film called Last Rights. It  asks  
who should decide how life ends? The patient? The family? The  
physician? The healthcare system? Last Rights is a compelling  
documentary  looking at the choices available to four dying people.  
The intent is to introduce viewers to the complexity of end-of-life  
choices.  To access information please click on the title Last Rights.
