The writer and director of “Hold Me”, Teace Snyder, returns to give us the backstory on the making of his film, and why the topic of assisted suicide has become a focal point of an unusual push coming from the Canadian government in the form of Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID).
The movie shows the massive shortcomings of the healthcare industry in the West, and how life-saving decisions are being made based on the way the system was designed. If the medical industry wasn’t bad enough, the government bureaucracy that is laid on top works to smother any hope of long-term care for those in need. It creates a situation in which sick people are forced to consider cheaper ways to die.
