Meet the man who shared his death with the world.

Ethan Sisser, a young man with terminal brain cancer, livestreams his final days, drawing thousands into his journey. He dreams of dying in community and without fear. Honoring his wish, his doctor, Aditi Sethi, brings him to the Blue Ridge Mountains, where strangers gather to help him die with grace. The Last Ecstatic Days is a sensory portrait of death, courage, and connection.
