I Want to Die at Home 1990

This is a remarkable portrayal of loyalty and love. Divorced and living apart from her grown children, Elizabeth discovered she had an incurable cancer. Her strongest wish was to die in the familiar surroundings of home, close to the people she loved. Loyal friends and family shared in her care and steadfastly kept her company throughout this critical period. They alternated shifts so that she would never be without a comforter. Elizabeth s choice to die at home helped mitigate the pain of her untimely death for her survivors. They gave Elizabeth the gift of time and love when she needed it most.

The Last Western Heretic 2007

The last western heretic is a timely and enthralling insight into the ideas and philosophies of the New Zealander described by the BBC as “the last living heretic”. New Zealand’s very own Lloyd Geering, now 89 and still deeply involved in the debate of ideas about life and religion, and latterly, the very survival of human beings and the planet to which we belong. The documentary explores his world view in a series of controversial and richly illustrated statements, and in doing so, makes simple and comprehensible the powerful theological and cultural ideas underpinning western civilisation.
