Mademoiselle and the Doctor

200489 minsColor
Janine Hoskings, Director
In her thought-provoking examination of the right-to-die debate, filmmaker Janine Hoskings introduces viewers to Lisette Nigot, a healthy, witty 79-year-old French woman living in Australia. Having accomplished all she wanted to do with her life, Nigot says she does not want to celebrate her 80th birthday. For advice, she turns to Dr. Philip Nitschke, an advocate for euthanasia for terminally ill patients. Hoskings’s heartbreaking documentary follows the relationship of Nigot and Dr. Nitschke as they meet to discuss a “final project.”
