The film follows Dr. Johann Spittler, a German neuropsychiatrist and one of the few specialists qualified to assess the decision-making capacity of individuals seeking assisted suicide. For over two decades, he has examined people suffering from terminal illnesses, psychiatric disorders, or both, issuing approvals in more than 700 cases—though not all applications are granted—and has personally assisted a significant number of patients in their final act. Spittler is among the small circle of doctors engaged in this field who openly address how physical and mental suffering are linked and often coexist, and who question the boundaries of individual freedom. “Green Light” offers a direct and compelling glimpse into the challenging reality of a man whose work unfolds within a domain marked by controversy and uncertainty.
