End Game is a 2018 American short documentary film by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman[1] about terminally ill patients in a San Francisco hospital meeting medical practitioners seeking to change the perception around life and death.

Dr. Pantilat begins to describe palliative care as helping people live as well as possible for as long as possible; a care that focuses on not only the disease but the whole person, where there are people to help the patient with their symptoms, ensure the patient has the information they need to make complex decisions about their health, and have an extra layer of support for themselves and their family.

The label the couple has associated with palliative care is “kissing it goodbye.” The documentary then proceeds to the Zen Caregiving Project, where there has been the acquisition of a new patient named Bruce.

Dr. Pantilat and his team continue to talk through the situation with Mitra’s family to help answer their questions and ultimately choose what they feel is right.

Dr. Miller eventually meets with Thekla, who is experiencing shortness of breath, at the University of California, San Francisco, Symptom Management Service.

As the documentary comes to a close, Dr. Miller explains that there is nothing medical about death, but it is something that is purely human and a time to celebrate and rejoice the deceased's life.
