An Act of Love: Talking with Your Family About Serious Illness and End of Life

RSVP to attend this event.

An Act of Love is a 25-minute documentary film that explores the lived experiences of people in Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, and rural communities as they navigate their unique experiences with hospice and palliative care.

Through deeply personal stories, the documentary confronts the myths, mistrust, and cultural silence that surround end-of-life care. We hear from families, caregivers, spiritual leaders, and healthcare professionals such as Marisette Hasan, RN, who are reshaping what it means to prepare and die with dignity.

This film, narrated by Grammy-nominated jazz performer Nnenna Freelon, is not just about end of life—it’s about love, legacy, and the power of being seen and heard in life’s final chapter.
