To Life – Tanwen’s father Gareth died when she was 19 years old. He was suffering from Motor Neurone Disease which was gradually taking away his ability to move, to speak, to swallow. And yet he remained positive until the end, and sincerely wanted Tanwen to continue enjoying life to the full. Tanwen talks about how her father died and how she dealt – and still deals – with her grief. He died before his time, but Tanwen now feels that it was the best thing that could have happened – that he died while he still had his dignity.

Connections – Lots of people describe themselves as “spiritual” even if they aren’t religious, but what does that mean? In this beautiful film, six very different people describe how they connect with something beyond themselves – through craft, dance, performance, prayer, writing, helping others, and exploring the natural world. In each case, finding something they love to do has helped them find themselves and given their lives a purpose.
