The universal subject matter of Sam Lara and Cathy Henkel\u2019s documentary Laura\u2019s Choice<\/strong><\/a> has been recognised by distributor Off The Fence<\/strong><\/a>, which has picked up the project for international sales.<\/p>\n

The film details the life and death of Laura Henkel, a 90-year-old that has decided she wants to end her life on her own terms, and asks her daughter Cathy and granddaughter Sam, both filmmakers, to document the process.<\/p>\n

Developed through Virgo Productions<\/strong><\/a>, in collaboration with Factor 30 Films, the documentary was produced by Lara, Cathy Henkel, Ryan Hodgson and Melissa Kelly, with Chris Haws on board as executive producer.<\/p>\n

Head of acquisitions Loren Baxter said the company was \u201cthrilled\u201d to be a part of the film\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cSam and Cathy\u00a0have created such a special film that will resonate with so many audiences around the world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Henkel said the project was well suited to the distributor.<\/p>\n

\u201cSam and I are absolutely thrilled to have Off The Fence represent Laura\u2019s Choice internationally,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir care and passion align perfectly with the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following its premiere on the ABC last month, Laura\u2019s Choice has been selected for New Zealand\u2019s Doc Edge International Film Festival in June, to screen in both Auckland and Wellington. Henkel and Lara will also speak at the Doc Edge Forum, the festival\u2019s annual industry conference.<\/p>\n
