Death is a subject that has produced fear and obsession throughout history, transcending all cultural and social boundaries. Director Charlene Shih's best friend, Georgia, lost her 30-year-old husband a year ago from a brain aneurysm. Left alone with her 10-month-old baby, she is determined to find a way to communicate with her husband Jerry one last time. Charlene documents this extraordinary search on film and meets Paul, a terminally-ill cancer patient who is facing his own death.
Super Pigs
They are cute, smart, have sharp memories and a keen sense of smell. Not only are they destined for the dinner table, but in Taiwan, they also contribute much to mankind.
