Life After

Synopsis

In 1983, a disabled Californian woman named Elizabeth Bouvia sought the “right to die,” igniting a national debate about autonomy, dignity, and the value of disabled lives. After years of courtroom trials, Bouvia disappeared from public view. In Life After, disabled director Reid Davenport investigates what happened to Bouvia and her story’s disturbing relevance today. Produced by Multitude Films. Life After will make its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Documentary Competition.
