About
What happens when we die?
In this thought-provoking film, director Paul Perry uses recent research into near-death experiences to answer the question that's plagued humans since the beginning of time: Is there life after death? Through interviews with near-death researchers and accounts from those who've returned from the abyss -- along with case studies, event recreations and spiritual artwork -- the film makes the case that life continues long after our last breath
