LIFE AFTER has been awarded the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award at Sundance! This is director Reid Davenport‘s second Sundance win, following his U.S. Documentary Directing Award in 2022 for I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE. Congratulations to the film team!
In 1983, a disabled Californian woman named Elizabeth Bouvia sought the “right to die,” igniting a national debate about autonomy, dignity, and the value of disabled lives. After years of courtroom trials, Bouvia disappeared from public view. Disabled director Reid Davenport investigates what happened to Bouvia and her story’s disturbing relevance today.
