Synopsis by Alice Day

In this PBS series, veteran journalist Bill Moyers looks at changes in attitudes in America regarding death and dying. While the subject affects us all, few are comfortable talking about it. On Our Own Terms: Moyers on Dying, Vol. 1 - Living With Dying discusses the trend toward an openness about the end of life, and all that entails. Moyers presents patients and medical personnel who are willing to speak about their experiences with dying and how it can involve courage, candidness, and even humor.
