Untitled Jack Kevorkian Project

In the 1990s, Dr. Jack Kevorkian emerges as one of the most polarizing figures in modern American history, an angel of mercy to some and Doctor Death to others, driven by a quest to end the lives of people in unbearable pain that earns him both fervent praise and widespread vilification. Beginning with his first assisted suicide in 1990, he ignites a national media frenzy, sparking a decade-long war of wills with determined state prosecutors intent on stopping his deranged killing madness, even as he remains steadfast in his commitment to continue breaking the law.
