Documenting the Final Journey of Hospice Nurse Allyson

  1. Documenting the Final Journey of Hospice Nurse Allyson Helen Bauer BSN RN CHPN 46:50

What happens when the hospice nurse who has long stood at the bedside of the Dying becomes the patient herself? A Butterfly Has Been Released is a death-positive documentary film that follows Allyson from her terminal brain tumor diagnosis to her final breath—revealing courage, Love, and the raw realities of letting go.  Filmmakers Jason Zamer and Barry Koch capture Allyson’s journey in an intimate way that bears witness to the reflections of Allyson, her Family, and friends during her last 39 days.  They only spent 12 days filming with Allyson, but the experience impacted them deeply.  When you watch the film, you’ll feel the same.   Connect with Jason and Barry at TG Beyond: Website – tgbeyond.com Documentary rental, community screenings, and CE class available through a Partnership with Hospice Foundation of America on their website.
