You Don’t Know Jack

A look at the life and work of doctor-assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian.

Details

Historien om Doktor Död (You Dont Know Jack) is a compelling film that explores the controversial life of Dr. Jack Kevorkian in the 1990s. Dr. Kevorkian challenges the Michigan law by assisting terminally ill individuals in ending their lives. Throughout his journey, he receives support from his sister, a lab technician, the president of the Hemlock Society, and a lawyer.

The film is framed through interviews conducted by the child of Armenian genocide survivors. Viewers get an inside look as Kevorkian's sister video tapes these interviews. Alongside this, he creates a device that enables individuals to initiate a three-chemical intravenous drip, giving them control over their own fate.

Unsurprisingly, his actions result in backlash from the local district attorney, the governor, and the Legislature. However, Kevorkian remains unyielding in his efforts to grant dying individuals the right to decide how they want to pass away.

The film features captivating court scenes where Kevorkian sometimes displays unconventional behavior. Amidst all the legal battles and public scrutiny, his dedication to advocating for the rights of the terminally ill shines through.

Historien om Doktor Död takes viewers on an emotional journey as it delves into the ethical dilemmas surrounding assisted suicide. It paints a complex portrait of a man who fights for what he believes in, even if it means challenging the law and societal norms.
