    It could have been interesting
    Be prepared for a lot of flowery narration (including the obligatory Dylan Thomas poem, and a lot of generic comments about attitudes toward death, etc.) that give the impression the director wanted to impart some "gravitas" to the proceedings. I suppose they didn't feel the subject of death carried enough weight on it's own.

    There are a series of interviews/comments by various people discussing their experience with (a relative's, their own impending, etc) or views about death, and philosophizing endlessly about same. There are a few interesting commentators, such as Maajid Nawaz, a reformed Islamist extremest who now runs a counter-extremism think tank, but, overall, the majority are not that compelling, and their thoughts are so common that there wasn't a need to put them on film.

    What you have here is a documentary made by someone who wishes they were directing narrative films, and thus tries to imbue a sense of Great Significance.

    In case you thought it might be a focus, only one subject discusses a near-death experience.
