A
Finished Life: The Goodbye and No Regrets Tour
"This documentary opens with two small children,
one of whom explains that Uncle Gregg is going on a cross-country
trip because hes going to die from AIDS
and wants to say goodbye to all his friends and family.
After watching his partner, Jeff, die of the same disease,
Gregg comes to the conclusion that he doesnt want
to waste away, so when his doctors want to
switch his medications, Gregg decides to stop taking them
and let nature take its course, saying he will end his
own life when physical and emotional suffering become
too much to bear. Despite the terminal nature of Greggs
illness and the audiences knowledge from the outset
that this movie will not have a Hollywood-happy ending,
A Finished Life is one of the most positive, life-affirming
films out there."
