Tony Nicklinson has what is known as ‘locked in syndrome” – he cannot move, talk, feed himself or perform even the most basic function without help. The only way he can communicate with the outside world is via a computer which he controls with his eyes. 

In this powerful and emotional documentary, Tony explains why he wants to die but due to his condition is unable to kill himself without assistance. His family are behind his decision but are unable to help because they would be committing murder. On the eve of an historic and deeply controversial legal bid to demand the right to be killed, Tony tells us his story. His journey brings him face to face with his critics as well as hearing from the Greek doctor who saved his life seven years ago and says he wouldn’t wish this condition on his worst enemy.
