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.
