SUMMARY:Special Screening: An Act of Love
DESCRIPTION:Join heart2heartnc as they kick off this year’s road to Death Faire with a Special Screening: An Act of Love on Mon\, Oct 27\, 5:30pm-8:30pm at the Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center. Produced by Transitions LifeCare\, “An Act of Love: Talking with Your Family About Serious Illness and End of Life” is a 25-minute documentary that explores the lived experiences of individuals from Black\, African American\, Hispanic\, Latino\, and rural communities as they navigate hospice and palliative care. Drawing on the personal stories of people living in the Triangle area\, the film sheds light on common misconceptions and the cultural silence that often surrounds end-of-life care in these underserved communities. \nNarrated by Grammy-nominated jazz artist Nnenna Freelon\, the film amplifies a chorus of voices—families\, caregivers\, spiritual leaders\, and healthcare professionals—offering a compassionate and multifaceted view of this critical time in life. These stories are especially timely in light of findings from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO)\, which show that Black Americans on Medicare are 13% less likely to use hospice and palliative care than their white counterparts—a disparity that underscores the urgent need for culturally sensitive outreach and education. \nThis free event is co-sponsored by heart2heartnc\, WEBB Squared\, El Vinculo Hispano/Hispanic Liaison\, and The Fenwick Foundation. The evening will feature music by Diali Keba Cissokho and Will Ridenour\, light finger foods by Scurlock’s Catering of Pittsboro\, and will conclude with a discussion and Q&A following the screening. ​
