'Death Differently' Presents: 'Other Side' Documentary Screening
The Westport Library is excited to present an exclusive screening of Other Side, a documentary film featured in the Death Differently series, which highlights alternative approaches to death, dying, and grief. Each character-driven episode focuses on an individual topic — green burial, wind telephones, music thanatology, and many others. Other Side highlights one family's experience in navigating advocacy for alternative death.
About Other Side
Other Side is a feature-length documentary following Bridgeport-based activist Lynda Bluestein’s journey in accessing medical aid in dying in Vermont as an out of state resident. This compassionate end-of-life option was not available in her home state, so she filed a lawsuit against the state of Vermont to gain access to their Death With Dignity law, Act 39 — and she won.
Other Side premiered at the 2025 South by Southwest Film Festival on March 7th. Click here to watch a trailer for the film and learn more about the series.
