Other Side

Other Side follows Connecticut activist Lynda Bluestein during the final year of her life as she confronts terminal illness, family, and the limits of end-of-life law. When medical aid in dying was not available to her in Connecticut, Lynda challenged Vermont’s residency restriction in court, seeking access to the state’s law as an out-of-state resident. The film follows Lynda and her family through the emotional, legal, medical, and deeply personal realities of that journey.
