Addicted To Life

NYC Public Premiere, Chelsea Film Festival, October 2023

A paralyzed Belgian athlete takes control of her slow, painful decline by planning for assisted suicide, and paradoxically becomes a world champion in sports. As her body gives way and her time left becomes unpredictable, she fights to seize the most from every remaining moment.

Marieke Vervoort chose to end her brave struggle October 22, 2019.
