\u201cI thought to myself, what can we do? Then my husband reminded me that I could make anything happen. So I posted on social media and we were in contact with Villeneuve\u2019s team within 12 hours,\u201d Gagnon advised Global News over the cellphone on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Her put up had made its approach to Director S\u00e9bastien Pilote, who’s from the identical area, and he put her in contact with Villeneuve\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018You don\u2019t understand, he\u2019s at the end, there\u2019s no way to move him.’\u201d<\/p>\n

So the workforce organized to fly out Villeneuve\u2019s assistant to the palliative care centre with Villeneuve\u2019s laptop computer. \u201cIt was a race against time because from one day to the next, we didn\u2019t know if he would make it. He only had a few days left.\u201d<\/p>\n

The assistant made it. She arrived at Maison de soins palliatifs du Saguenay, <\/em>had everybody signal a non-disclosure contract after which advised the affected person to decide on one particular person to look at the film with. He selected one of many centre\u2019s caregivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe took everyone\u2019s phones away and played the movie on the laptop for just the two of them in his room. Neither she nor I watched it. It was this really big deal,\u201d Gagnon mentioned. \u201cI was told even the President of the United States wasn\u2019t able to see it before its release.\u201d<\/p>\n

She says it was a exceptional and emotional expertise for the assistant too. \u201cIt\u2019s not everyday you face someone\u2019s death, or someone at end-of-life like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
