Life After (Reid Davenport, 2025)When filmmaker Reid Davenport first learned about Elizabeth Bouvia—the young woman who, in 1983, petitioned a court in California to require her hospital to help her die—he had a hunch that there was more to her story than met the eye. But for Davenport, who also has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, something didn’t feel right. That is where Life After, Davenport’s deeply moving follow-up to his 2022 debut feature I Didn’t See You There, picks up. “Before we even have a discussion about dying with dignity, we need to guarantee life with dignity,” said Davenport. “I wanted to remind people that I was making this film—that a disabled person who uses a wheelchair was making the film,” said Davenport.
