I've watched this film several times and have been amazed at how much content there is to ponder and talk about. I love that it's such an excellent conversation starter - not just about death, but about how we choose to live our lives.
I find the film to be a great balance of research from scientists and professionals, as well as personal firsthand stories. To me, both are relevant in the discussion of the mystery of death.
The film also expresses so many things we as a culture don't tend to talk about - such as the possibility of communication with those who have died and studies that suggest the reality of consciousness surviving physical death. Very life-affirming and comforting for those who have experienced the death of a beloved or parent or friends, as I have in my life.
I also enjoyed how the film looks at the bigger picture of consciousness and how exploring various worldviews and perspectives on death point to our interconnectedness as humans. If you want to look at death differently, watch this film! I highly recommend it.
