"The Space Between" is a human story about hope and perseverance. The documentary examines the impact of poverty on healthcare in Kenya through the scope of dying with dignity at the Living Room hospice. Kenya is one of the poorest nations in the world, with nearly half of the country living under the poverty line on less than one dollar a day. Many can't afford medical treatment, or the funds to travel to a hospital, so they die alone and in pain. For those who can enter the public hospitals, a painful existence can await them as well: understaffed hospitals with minimal resources and multiple patients sharing a bed. Additionally, most hospitals do not offer palliative care, an area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and preventing patients' suffering. "The Space Between" provides viewers with a "fly on the wall" approach, providing unprecedented access into Kenya's public hospitals and hospice care centers through the stories of four individuals with life-threatening diseases and conditions.
***Due to the content explored in this documentary, we respectfully request that attendees be at least 13 years old and that those under age 18 be accompanied by an adult.
We are excited to share the documentary with you all as we raise awareness for the Living Room and compassionate healthcare for all in Kenya. For more information about the documentary and to watch the trailer, please visit www.thespacebetweendoc.com
