Description of this Book
few years ago we interviewed several people who planned to donate their bodies to the Otago Medical School for students to dissect. We asked them about their lives and their loves, their hopes, their fears, and of course their bodies. The Otago Medical school is one of the last in the world whose students still do significant human dissection. The donors and the students gave us permission to follow them through this whole process. This unexpectedly life affirming, sad, funny and above all human film is the result. The emotional payoff at the end - when the students finally get to 'meet' their donors and watch the original donor interviews is as powerful as anything you will see. For the first time on film, we have the chance to be a part of the amazing journey of the students, the donors and their families.

Awards & Reviews
| NZ Review |
This is an enthralling piece of filmmaking that says much about the human condition... It is my fervent hope that at the very least, all deans of medical schools and medical educationalists should view it in order to appreciate how important anatomy is to health care studies and practice, beyond just the factual basis of the discipline." Prof Bernard Moxham,in The Journal of Anatomy |
