Hospice Chronicles:

Summary

In 1967, St. Christopher's Hospice, the first modern hospice, opened in a suburb of London. Since then, millions of people around the world have chosen hospice at the end of their lives, with many patients choosing to receive care in their homes. In Hospice Chronicles: Joe and Roger, producer Dan Collison follows Joe, a volunteer trained in "respite care," giving family members a break from caretaking responsibilities. As Joe, a Buddhist, engages Roger, a devout Christian, in discussions of death and mortality, he finds himself exploring death in a way for which training could not have prepared him.
