Synopsis

Canadian housewife Sue Rodriguez's battle against Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) made headlines in the early 1990s when she fought and lost a prolonged court case for the right to die. Her story was the subject of the documentary Who Owns My Life?, but it's also handled with surprising sensitivity by Sheldon Larry in this TV movie. That's largely thanks to a powerful performance by Wendy Crewson, who displays credible conviction in the legal sequences and touching compassion in her scenes with Miko Hughes, as the young son who doesn't understand his mother's insistence on doctor-assisted suicide.
