a Life of One's Own

This insightful documentary follows the journeys of two people who courageously decide to donate their bodies to medical science. Our two donors, Mike Bowyer and Diana King, have both chosen to bequeath their bodies to science. In the months leading up to their deaths, we tell their stories, meet their loved ones and find out why they decided to donate their bodies. As their journeys beyond death begin, we follow them through two medical institutes where their bodies take on a life of their own. Mike becomes a valuable learning tool for anatomy students during a ‘Meet the Cadaver’ session and Diana helps surgeons master pioneering techniques for hip replacements.

A surprising and entertaining explanation of how the words we use (even the ones we don't notice) reveal our personalities, emotions, and identities.

A fresh and revealing history of one of the most seminal events in American history as seen through fourteen diverse and dynamic figures.
