Memento mori is an evocative cinematic journey alongside the living and the dying, bringing to the screen a human drama never-before captured on film. With remarkable access to Canada's busiest organ-transplant hospital, we witness one of the most profound experiences in any human life: the loss of a child, and the agonizing decision this tragedy demands. Created by two acclaimed Canadian documentarians, director Niobe Thompson and producer Rosvita Dransfeld, Memento mori grips the viewer in a relentless, emotional embrace-propelling us from moments of unexpected joy to unbearable heartbreak-until the very final frame. An arresting tour de force of vérité filmmaking, immersing us completely in a world few of us understand but which we'll all one day encounter.
