This is an opportunity to see film used as a medium to discuss end-of-life issues, cultural influences on advance care planning and communication, and a family grappling with the uncertainty of serious illness. 

You can read more in the the latest installment of  The Conversation   about the film,  “The Farewell,” which tells the story of Chinese and Chinese American family members coping with their matriarch’s declining health – and whether to hide her poor prognosis from her.

Watch the movie trailer and buy your tickets. The film opens in Boston on 7/18/19.
