  • Jennifer Brady fought for her health — and won
    Jennifer Brady was suffering. The Nova Scotia woman was living with lymphedema, a chronic condition that causes painful swelling in the arms and legs. She couldn't get treatment there, and the government refused to pay for treatment out of province, so she applied for Medical Assistance in Dying. A year ago, we heard her story on our program.

Now, a year later, Angela MacIvor brings us Jennifer’s story in her documentary, The Fight.
