Facing Death

 

Teenagers often feel they are immortal, indestructible. So how do high school students face the reality of death? A New Zealand teenager named Sonja is confronting that terrible prospect.
    Shot on location in New Zealand, this gripping video includes edited "home movie" footage and interviews with Sonja, who speaks of her fears and dreams, her doubts and her certainties, as she battles terminal cancer. Your students will be at rapt attention as Sonja struggles through her final months of life with cancer. She will help your students face not only the reality of death, but also how they can face life with courage, grace and true meaning.
