The Curiosity Paradox is thrilled to co-present a screening of the new documentary film "Life After" at the Tomorrow Theater on Friday, August 15th at 7:00 PM featuring The Curiosity Paradox in conversation with Director Reid Davenport and host Cathy Kudlick.
Disabled filmmaker Reid Davenport probes the legacy of Elizabeth Bouvia — a disabled California woman who, at the age of 26, sought “the right to die.” Her 1983 case provoked a national debate about the value of disabled lives, and Davenport sees echoes in chilling contemporary cases of disabled people dying prematurely — at their own hands and from a broken health care system. Through moving interviews and rich archival material, "Life After" looks critically at where progressive values of bodily autonomy collide with the devaluing and fear of disabled lives.
