2018 1 Seasons 5 Episodes ⭐ 0.0 Documentary

As we approach death, each of us encounters a unique set of experiences and impressions-the sum of our time spent and our choices.

Through a series of interviews with terminally ill men and women, The View From Here is an exploration of how life looks after a terminal diagnosis and before a final breath- an unflinching attempt to undo the taboos that keep us afraid and alone at the end.
