You Don't Know Jack (2010)

This is an amazing movie, a great introduction to the area. Here's what Netflix says: "Al Pacino stars in this Emmy-winning biopic that focuses on the life of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the controversial physician who boldly advocated the legalization of euthanasia and personally helped more than 100 terminally ill patients commit suicide. Directed by Hollywood veteran Barry Levinson, the made-for-cable drama also stars Susan Sarandon as vocal activist Janet Good and John Goodman as Kevorkian's trusted friend and supporter Neal Nicol.

The HBO biopic is based on the book “Between the Dying and the Dead: Dr. Jack Kevorkian's Life and the Battle to Legalize Euthanasia,” by Neal Nicol and Harry Wylie.
