Filmed over a twelve year period, Griefwalker shows Jenkinson in teaching sessions with doctors and nurses, in counselling sessions with dying people and their families, and in meditative and often frank exchanges with the film's director while paddling a birch bark canoe about the origins and consequences of his ideas for how we live and die.
