When a 1990 brain injury left 26-year-old Florida resident Terri Schiavo in a persistent vegetative state for over a decade, her husband and family disagreed about her fate, creating a painful rift. As Schiavo ultimately became the center of a pivotal “right to die” debate that captured the world’s attention, the filmmakers deftly connect the dots between this family tragedy and the rise of the religious right, and ultimately, a post-Roe America. – Bedatri D.
