Frederick Wiseman, USA 1989, 358’

An epic film about the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital, Near Death is an unforgettable document about people facing mortality and those who administrate the efforts to save them. The film considers the personal, ethical, medical, psychological, religious and legal issues involved in the health care industry and remains what Newsweek called ‘the most powerful dose of medical reality ever administered by the tube’.
