Extremis

Extremis (2016) is a short documentary by Dan Krauss you can watch online on iFILM. Twenty-four minutes inside an ICU, where physicians and nurses decide whether to keep fighting for patients who can no longer speak for themselves.

Netflix released the film the same year it got a nod for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject. Krauss stays out of the frame entirely — no narration, no recreations, just a fixed camera and the real conversations between Dr. Jessica Zitter and the families facing the hardest question a hospital can ask.
