- The Accabadora or ’Lady of Kind Death’ was a woman in Sardinian culture who performed an ancient form of euthanasia, an act of mercy for the terminally ill in order to put an end to their suffering. It was a ritual of Sardinian tradition with roots going back into the mists of time, but carried out as recently as the 1960s. Kept concealed and out of sight of the Roman Catholic culture that considered her a murderer, the Femmina Accabadora is a legendary figure - as alive in the popular mind as the vampires of Transylvania.
In this film, we hear from eye witnesses who break the code of silence still in place to this day. We learn where and how they lived and how they were perceived by the community at large. We’ll see how the rite itself was carried out. An immersion inside a culture that is thousands of years old and a relationship with death that is as natural as life itself.
Director: Fabrizio Galatea

Wat an amazing story! These Sardinian women, the Accabadoras, anticipated by hundreds of years what modern medicine is just now arriving at: medical aid in dying. The Catholic Church was and is, as always, opposed. Which explains why they had to remain a quiet, secret organization.
It should be given as an option to all people suffering from end of life sickness so no one has to suffer.
How lovely the Italian language is. ❤️
un grazie al professor Saba,perchè esiste ancora la Pietas.Un grazie a tutte le acabadoras coraggiose ed umane che hanno voluto fare un regalo bellissimo ai sofferenti e a Dio che sa che,se lo raggiungiamo un giorno prima attraverso il dolce sogno,nulla togliamo all'economia del creato.Anzi....
Midwife of the beginning, midwife of the end - they deliver. And they are everywhere.
Sentivo mia madre malata terminale chiedere a Dio di tagliare quel debole filo che la teneva in vita..i suoi lamenti di notte,le urla,l ho vista sparire piano piano,condumarsi come una candela.Lucida fino all ultimo respiro.L ho vista fatta di morfina e lei odiava i farmaci . .per favore, attaccamento alla vita se la vita vale la pena di essere vissuta,se puoi alzarti dal letto,lavarti,uscire, mangiare,mettere la lavatrice, annaffiare le tue amate piante.Non è vita se soffri come una bestia.certo la morte fa fatica ad essere acettata ma a volte è segno di amore lasciare andare via chi ami.
Wonderfully eye-opening documentary! As a believer in ethical suicide and a believer in ending someone's life if they are suffering, I truly enjoyed this doc. Thank you!
Omg, never known of this practice, but highly recommend it to end the suffering of the terminally ill.
Very interesting. Who wants to lie and suffer? NOONE. Thank you for this documentary.
Se c'è una testimonianza, come puo uno parlare di credenza? La gioia di vivere è la gioia di morire. Chi non sa per cosa valesse la pena di morir non conosce nemmeno una ragion valida per vivere. La credenza non centra e la donna fa sempre ció che é inevitabile. É inevitabile la nascita quanto la morte. Chi lo ignora non ha capito la vita. E appunto i maschi non comprendono, i maschi ignorano due tematiche fondamentali che sono svelati solo davanti agli occhi delle donne
Very beautiful documentary. A couple of friends from Sardinia mentioned about the "S'accabadora" and told me that there was one of these ladies not far from their village.
My goodness, what a beautiful & well made documentary. I’m looking forward to learning more about the acabadoras reading , “The Shawl”.
There is just so much pain a person can withstand. It’s a individual and deeply personal choice. What I feel about this is of no consequence.
A most interesting documentary. Fascinating!
Bien interesante , incluso la música de fondo y la tranquilidad de las personas hablando me relajo mucho .
Feels so human . And so autarcic. À village lives naturally with this theme, Not willing to subdue to the religious authorities. This touches me, because it means free spirit.
The different dialaects and pronounciations of their language is a beautiful thing . Some more mainstrean some more closed ❤
A fascinating story, beautifully crafted.
My grandfather was Sardinian, I was amazed and in awe at grandfathers mother how she helped to heal people with herbal remedies and and praying and massaging the affected area of the body. Persons receiving these treatments felt better. Now that a I am older , I feel these people are mystical , Sardinia is very mystical land and many people retain these arts since ancient days. Some call it pagan and that’s there option. When a person dying it is a detriment time between their God and themselves and I am not going to judge this. Been at my sister in laws house she decided to die at home it was a very hard to see her slip away from this mortal life and in pain. Only when you are witness to this you realize that we are powerless to change anything that was happening. She did die and you felt her peace no more pain . She now at the place she chose from this mortal life.
Such a beautiful film. I loved every minute of it. Thank you for sharing <3
