 sion. About the FilmKim Hoffman was a passionate and articulate long-time
  social worker and tennis coach at Conard High School. The film document
 s Kim as she confronts her terminal illness and fights for her right to r
 eceive medical aid in dying. Polls show that 75% of Connecticut residents 
 are in favor of medical aid in dying legislation, but it has failed to pas
 s in the state legislature 16 times; while residents of several neighbori
 ng states are afforded the option. Directed by local filmmaker Maribeth A
 brams, this 30-minute film captures Kim’s strength and the unwavering su
 pport of her wife Joy Cipollo. The screening will be followed by panel d
 iscussion with the director and others featured in the film.  Maribeth Ab
 rams from Skyline Films is the producer, director, and narrator of My Frie
 nd Kim. Her dedication to educating others about this end-of-life option c
 ame from her connection with Kim and others who desperately lobby for theÂ
  option of medical aid in dying. Registration required. Registration open
