Ein Leben für den Tod (2010)
Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Neal Nicol und seiner Schwester Margo Janus hilft der Arzt Jack Kevorkian seit den 80er-Jahren über 100 seiner schwerkranken Patienten dabei, sich selbst zu töten. Kevorkian sorgt damit landesweit für großes Aufsehen und spaltet die Öffentlichkeit. Von vielen angefeindet, findet er Unterstützung durch Janet Good, die sich als Aktivistin der Hemlock Society ebenfalls für Sterbehilfe stark macht, sowie durch Anwalt Geoffrey Fieger, der ihn in diversen Gerichtsverfahren verteidigt. Um einen Präzedenzfall zu schaffen, veröffentlicht Kevorkian 1999 ein Video, in dem er einem Patienten auf dessen Wunsch erstmals eigenhändig eine tödliche Spritze verabreicht. Daraufhin wird Jack Kevorkian wegen Totschlags zu einer Freiheitsstrafe von 10 bis 25 Jahren verurteilt. 2007 wird er, inzwischen selbst unheilbar krank, frühzeitig aus der Haft entlassen.
Der Regisseur: Barry Levinson
