The Last Days of April

The Last Days of April is a feature documentary that follows April Hubbard, a disability advocate living with a tethered spinal cord and chronic pain, who navigates the end of her life. April's courageous decision to share her Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) journey sparks an emotional and thought-provoking narrative. Through intimate interviews and personal anecdotes, this film documents the intersection of bodily autonomy and systemic barriers, ultimately advocating for a more inclusive and compassionate world. 

Following the screening there will be a Q&A with Co-Directors Ree Wright, Meaghan Wright (Mirror Image Media) and protagonist April Hubbard, along with subjects in the film.

Special thanks to Davis Pier for sponsoring this screening.
