The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Deborah Grassman (a leading expert in caring for veterans as they near end of life), Karen van Vuuren (the film’s Director who runs the Natural Funeral Home in Boulder County and is the founder and Executive Director for Natural Transitions, an educational non-profit supporting conscious, holistic approaches to end of life), and Greg Goettsch (Executive Director for Qualified Listeners and Vietnam Navy Veteran).
