Death Watch
★ 6.4/10•1980•2h 11m•R•Drama•Science Fiction

She's the target of every eye… including eyes only science could create.

In a future world where the disease has been finally defeated and everything can be sold, even the crude spectacle of death, the rare case of a dying woman becomes the morbid theme of a revolutionary reality show, broadcast through the curious eyes of a peculiar camera.
