Nazareth College, in collaboration with The Harley School Center for Mindfulness and Empathy Education, is proud to host a film screening of Beginning with the the End, An Evening of Learning and Reflection. The film is a feature length documentary by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker David Marshall that follows the experiences of a culturally diverse group of 16 to 18 year-olds from The Harley School who are given the unusual and extraordinary opportunity to work as trained hospice volunteers. The film was one of eight selected from more than 800 entries for the Grand Jury Award at the 2014 South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Tx.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with students in the elective class called “Hospice” at The Harley School, along with college students from Nazareth College’s Gerontology program and The Center for Service Learning. Beginning with the End is presented by The Harley School Center for Mindfulness and Empathy Education, The Nazareth College Gerontology Program, & The Nazareth College Center for Service Learning.
