We aren't dying the way we used to. We have ventilators, dialysis machines, ICUs-technologies that can "fix" us and keep our bodies alive-which have radically changed how we make medical decisions. In our death-denying culture, no matter how sick we get, there is always "hope." Defining Hope tells the story of patients dealing with life-threatening illness as they move between ICUs, operating rooms, hospice care and home. Diane is a nurse caring for end-stage cancer patients when she is diagnosed with ovarian cancer herself. 23-year-old Alena undergoes a risky brain surgery that destroys her short-term memory. 95-year-old Berthold lives with his elderly wife who struggles to honor his wish of dying peacefully at home. Defining Hope follows these patients and others- and the nurses that guide them along the way- as they face death, embrace hope, and ultimately redefine what makes life worth living.

| User ReviewElise SI can't praise this film enough! Defining Hope tells a beautiful story throughout the film and challenges viewers to think about the hard, but critical aspects of end of life decisions. I have now been informed and will be hoping to have these conversations with my family in the near future. |
| User ReviewElizabeth FThe movie was beautifully told, and made me appreciate the choices we make in how we live our lives. As the name suggests, it was more of a hopeful 'carpe diem' movie, in more opinion, than a sad, depressing film. |
| User ReviewRon TIt's heartbreaking but well worth watching. I think it makes a very good point. Quality of life is important.. Everyone should be able to die with dignity and peace. |
