Switzerland is one of the only countries in the world that allows foreigners to commit suicide. More than 1000 people have come to die with the Dignitas group in Zurich since 1998. Dignitas openly defends the right to suicide for individuals, couples and the depressed. This “death tourism” is a troubling affair. Though the majority of Swiss are in favour of assisted suicide, the government doesn’t want to see the country become a centre for dying. This extraordinary film takes us to Germany, Belgium and France where we try to understand Switzerland’s controversial “death trade”.
