The Cheryl Hauser Effect

The Cheryl Hauser Effect is an intimate documentary that follows a Minnesota woman’s courageous choice to end her battle with Alzheimer’s through VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking).  
At seventy-six, Cheryl became a clear and conscious advocate for end-of-life autonomy. Her choice, both deeply personal and profoundly public, has sparked a national conversation about choice, dignity, and intention in dying.
