Louis Theroux's LA Stories: Edge of Life (2014)
Remarkable documentary that captures the events of people living with a death sentence
Great documentary and well worth watching. It really makes you think about how you would try and cope with the situation some of these people are in. This documentary captures the moments when some people realise that they are going to die and in one case a man finds out that it is not the disease that will kill him but a wound that won't heal. This really shows you how even the smallest thing can have the biggest impact on peoples lives.
In another incident a man suffers brain damage from and overdose and his family are told that he will be completely unresponsive for the rest of his life but by the end we see him walking and communicating perfectly. The doctors describe it as a one in a million chance and this shows us that anything can happen.
Louis Theroux delivers again with this captivating and heartbreaking documentary.
