Veteran filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman return to their documentary roots, filming and editing in intimate vérité style, following visionary medical practitioners who are working on the cutting edge of life and death — and dedicated to changing our thinking about both.
End Game is directed by Academy Award wining directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman and tells the story of palliative care through the experiences of several patients and their families. It is a heartwarming, compassionate, sad, hopeful, and beautiful film. You can read more about it here.
End Game will be released on Netflix as an original documentary on May 5th.
