American Experience: Death & The Civil Wari>: From acclaimed filmmaker Ric Burns,
"Death and the Civil War" explores an essential but largely overlooked aspect of
the most pivotal event in American history. With the coming of the Civil War, and
the staggering casualties it ushered in, death entered the experience of the American
people as it never had before - permanently altering the character of the republic,
and the psyche of the American people. Based on Drew Gilpin Faust's groundbreaking
book, "This Republic of Suffering," the film tracks the increasingly lethal arc of
the war down through the struggle, in the war's aftermath, to cope with an American
landscape littered with the bodies of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Call #: lost

Frontline: Being Mortal: PBS and host, writer and surgeon Atul Gawande examine how
doctors care for terminally ill patients. In conjunction with Gawande's new book,
Being Mortal, the film explores the relationships between doctors and patients nearing
the end of life and shows how many doctors struggle to talk openly. Director and
Producer: Thomas Jennings. 2over10 Media, 2015. Call #: lost
Frontline: Facing Death: In this film, FRONTLINE gains access to the ICU of one of
New York's biggest hospitals to examine the complicated reality of today's modern,
medicalized death. Here, we find doctors and nurses struggling to guide families
through the maze of end-of-life choices they now confront whether to pull feeding
and breathing tubes, when to perform expensive surgeries and therapies or to call
for hospice. The film also offers an unusually intimate portrait of patients facing
the prospect of dying in ways that they might never have wanted or imagined. Narrator:
Will Lyman. Producer: Miri Navasky, Karen O’Connor. 2010. Call #: lost
Frontline: The Undertaking: FRONTLINE profiles Thomas Lynch, a poet and undertaker
whose family has cared for the dead in a small town in central Michigan for three
generations. In The Undertaking, a critically acclaimed book, Lynch offered unique
and profound insight into what he called the "dismal trade." In an intimate and revealing
film, Lynch helps makes sense of the ways Americans cope with death, grief, and life.
Producer: Miri Navasky, Karen O’Connor. 2008. Call #: lost
