Palliative Care Queensland is a charity centered on the belief that the way we care for our dying is a powerful indicator of society’s values. The hospice organization recently commissioned a poignant and empowering short film titled “The Cassette” by animator Catherine Prowse focused on living the end of your life on your own terms.
Through the eyes of a gentle, felted character who sits in a hospital room and gets acquainted with the personification of death, Prowse portrays the significance of connecting people at the end of their lives with family and activities that bring them joy. Text flashes across the screen reading “Make death suck less,” encouraging us to remember how being prepared makes things easier for everyone during an inherently difficult time.
