Ageless presents "Last Flight Home" (2022) at the Royal Cinema, 608 College Street, Toronto.
The screening will be followed by a discussion about this important and beautiful film, including MAiD (Medical Assistance in Death), with representatives from different faiths and communities, and the filmmaker Ondi Timoner. Johanna Schneller, entertainment journalist and co-author of the 2022 book “The Last Doctor”, will be the moderator.
The panelists include Pauline Shirt, Elder, Plains Cree, Red-Tail Hawk Clan; Sister Dr. Nuala Kenny, OC, MD, FRCPS(C), Physician/Bioethicist, Emeritus Professor, Dalhousie University; Imam Abu Nolan Tarek; and Ella Gladstone Martin, Cantor (to be ordained May 2023).
Behind a white picket fence, on an unremarkable suburban street, we discover Eli Timoner, who founded Air Florida, the fastest growing airline in the world in the 1970's. During his final days, we discover his extraordinary life filled with incredible success and devastating setbacks, and most importantly, an innate goodness which won him the enduring love and support of his family. Through stunning verité footage recorded by his middle child, LAST FLIGHT HOME takes audiences on a heart-wrenching ride through Timoner’s life, illustrating a modern day success story built on the power of human connection.
The screening will begin at 7:00 PM.
