Life After
In 1983, Elizabeth Bouvia, a disabled Californian woman, sought the “right to die,” sparking a national debate on autonomy and the value of disabled lives. After years of courtroom battles, Bouvia vanished from public view. Sundance award-winning disabled director Reid Davenport embarks on a personal investigation to uncover the truth and explain why her story remains disturbingly relevant today.
