In 2019 90-year-old Australian Laura Henkel travelled to Switzerland to end her life through legal assisted dying.

One of her last requests was that her daughter Cathy Henkel and granddaughter Sam Lara film her journey and her fight to make assisted dying legal in Australia.

The result is now a documentary called Laura’s Choice, which is coming to New Zealand as part of the Doc Edge festival. 

Henkel and Lara joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss the emotional experience.
