We are honored to announce that Welcome Home, along with our friends at The Serenity House, have been chosen to screen the incredible documentary, “The Last Ecstatic Days”. Ethan Sisser, a young man with terminal brain cancer, sits alone in his hospital room. When he starts livestreaming his death journey on social media, thousands of people around the world join to celebrate his courage. Still, Ethan envisions more – to teach the world how to die without fear. To do that, he needs to film his death. Honoring Ethan's wish, his doctor Aditi Sethi transports him to an idyllic house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. What unfolds next is a story rarely glimpsed: how a community of strangers helps a young man die with grace. A sensory immersion into leaving the body, “The Last Ecstatic Days” reveals a man who will not let us forget him – even after he’s taken his final breath.

Join us at the Jewish Cultural Center or online via zoom to watch this beautiful documentary together. A question and answer session will be led by Sherry Campbell and Judith Pedersen-Benn afterwards, as well as a time to connect with one another. Please consider a small donation towards Welcome Home for admission.
