The Final Touch

Kristen is an embalmer creating a version of the deceased for their loved ones.

Witnessing patients taking their final breaths through making full recoveries, this unflinching film grapples with the lowest points of the coronavirus first wave. From March through June 2020, watch how medical staff held each other with grace during one of the greatest trials of their professions.
