Her Most recent film “The Departure” plays this year at the Vancouver International Film Festival

The Departure is about a former punk rocker, now a Buddhist priest and suicide counsellor, Ittetsu Nemoto is, needless to say, an exceptional person. Compassionate, intelligent and possessed of an indomitable work ethic, he reaches out to people wanting to die, encouraging them to express their impulses and taking them on special retreats that have been called “death workshops.” Does it all help? That’s just one of the questions hanging over this exceptional documentary.
