Whether they want to or not, four out of five Americans will likely die in hospitals or nursing homes, and the care they get will depend on both who is providing it and who is footing the bill. In this program, veteran PBS journalist Bill Moyers introduces crusading medical professionals—including staff members of the Balm of Gilead Project in Birmingham, Alabama—who have dedicated themselves to improving end-of-life care by changing America’s overburdened health system. The DVD version of this program also includes a special video introduction by Mr. Moyers. (87 minutes)
