Extremis is a powerful tool for both personal reflection and cultural transformation. This 2017 Academy Award-nominated film takes us to the front lines of a public health crisis that touches us all. Directed by Dan Krauss, Extremis follows patients and families grappling with the thorny decisions associated with serious illness. (jessicazitter.com/extremis)
