An intimate documentary following one woman’s journey with Alzheimer’s, her end-of-life decisions, and the movement she is inspiring.
What does it mean to face Alzheimer’s with choice and dignity? For 76-year-old Cheryl Hauser, it meant becoming an advocate for end-of-life options and choosing VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking).
The documentary, The Cheryl Hauser Effect, is not only Cheryl’s story—it is a call to reimagine how we approach death, dementia, and the decisions that shape our final days. Her legacy challenges us to think differently about autonomy, love, and the kind of dignity we hope to claim for ourselves and those we love.
This story matters—because these choices touch us all.
