Grünes Licht

The film follows Dr. Johann Spittler, a German neuropsychiatrist and one of the few specialists in assessing requests for assisted suicide. He has evaluated hundreds of people with incurable illnesses or psychological disorders and has accompanied many of them to their final step. For this, he was recently sentenced to three years in prison, as assisted dying remains largely illegal. GREEN LIGHT offers a powerful insight into the reality of a man whose actions take place within a morally divided and highly controversial landscape.
