A BUTTERFLY HAS BEEN RELEASED

A death-positive documentary by TGBeyond

Join a remarkable journey in "A Butterfly Has Been Released," as hospice nurse Allyson spends her last 39 days, living and dying with brain cancer.  

With unfiltered honesty, authenticity, and humor, Allyson invites her family, friends and hospice coworkers into her dying experience.  As time runs short, her community gathers to celebrate her life with a "living funeral," which Allyson hosts, and afterwards her natural, green burial.

Throughout, Allyson confronts her own mortality and continues to create meaning and legacy, as her death approaches and beyond.
