INELDA Update – NOVEMBER 2023

A GOOD DEATH FILM AT DOC NYC

Come watch a doula movie with us in New York City (or from the comfort of your own home in the U.S.)! A Good Death, co-directed by Jean Chapiro and Alison Boya Sun is a featured short in the DOC NYC film festival. The film features INELDA-trained end-of-life doula Virginia Chang and her client Soon Ja during her final months of life. Some of the INELDA team will be at the in-person screening and hope you’ll say hi!
