New Haven Independent features how Vanishing, a documentary Cai Emmons made about her journey to the end of her life after being diagnosed with ALS, was filmed

Vanishing: A Love Story — a documentary by Sandra Luckow receiving a preview screening at Linsly-Chittenden Hall, 63 High St. on April 8 at 7 p.m., with a Q&A with the director to follow — tells the story of novelist Cai Emmons: her energetic life; her vibrant family and loving partner, playwright Paul Caladrino; and, keeping it all in sharp focus, her death. ​“Remember me with joy,” Emmons says. ​“This isn’t going to be a grim film, I promise.”
