Changed Kind of Reality, A

Synopsis

After a brief introduction dealing with the care of the terminally ill, five patients and their families talk intimately about cancer and death. The patients are from very different backgrounds and circumstances, but all speak in an open and articulate way about their feelings, hopes and fears. The programme provides trigger material for discussion, and is useful to anyone concerned with the care of the dying.
