Who decides if a pregnant woman can be taken off of life support? The family? The hospital? The State? 62 Days is a documentary film about Marlise Muñoz, a brain-dead pregnant woman whose family was forced to keep her on life support against her wishes. This film shows the human story behind the headlines and shines a light on a controversial law.
