The Biology of Grief
Scientists know that the intense stress of grieving can

Jury Duty Scams
Being selected for jury service can cause many people anxiety and stress. Unfortunately, scam artists know the added pressure associated with jury duty can make people lower their defenses and become more susceptible to fraud. Victims are caught off guard with the unexpected threat of arrest and may be quick to part with personal information or money to defuse the situation.

80
year old Dr Michael Miller suffers from late-term terminal cancer. This
film explores the personal, social and ethical implications of Miller's
decision to discontinue eating and drinking in order to achieve a more peaceful
and less lengthy dying process. Dying Wish is a 12 day journey with Michael,
his family and his hospice team in an exploration of the final days of his
life. While it is impossible not to be touched by this journey, it is
also an educational and deeply thought-provoking film for any caregiver to
experience and consider.

Father
Zoom Code: 850 229 3682
Anthony
is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his
daughter, Anne, encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity
for Anne; she can't make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is
unravelling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his
own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves
the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her? THE
FATHER warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant
human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant - a movie that
nestles in the truth of our own lives.
