May 2019 VC Official Selection

Shirin Barghi


Logline: Meet Shatzi Weisberger, who staged her own funeral (emphasis on 'fun') at age 88. With the belief that death should be considered and talked about long before it comes, Shatzi holds weekly Death Cafes, in which folks come together to talk openly and honestly about all the complexities about the end of one's life.
