The framework, illustrated in Figure 1, examines the context of Hakola’s work within the intersections of documentary film and cultural discourse on death, delves into the content’s exploration of end-of-life representations, critically assesses the book’s strengths and weaknesses, compares it with related scholarly works, and concludes with insights into Hakola’s contribution to the broader discourse on mortality in cinema. Hakola’s interdisciplinary approach, drawing from documentary theory, medical humanities, death studies, and ethics of representation, highlights the significant role of documentary filmmaking in shaping contemporary cultural perceptions of death. By focusing on ethical dilemmas, personal narratives, and the balance between authenticity and exploitation, Hakola presents a comprehensive analysis that expands the boundaries of how death is filmed and interpreted.}, number={1}, publisher={Semire Ruken ÖZTÜRK}
