Narrated by Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects, Vanity Fair, Millers Crossing), that seven-time Best Documentary award-winning film (Silver Lake Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival) is the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankinds relationship with death ever captured on film.
Hailed by many viewers as a life-transformational film, Flihgt from Death uncovers death anxiety as a possible root cause of many of our behaviors on a psychological, spiritual, and cultural level.
Following the work of the late cultural anthropologist, Ernest Becker, and his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Denial of Death, that documentary explores the ognoing research of a group of social psychologists that may forever change the way we look at ourselves and the world.
Over the last twenty-five years, that team of researchers has conducted over 300 laboratory studies, which substantiate Beckers claim that death anxiety is a primary motivator of human behavior, specifically aggression and voilence.
Flight from Death features an all-star cast of scholars, authors, philosophers, and researchers including Sam Keen, Robert Jay Lifton, Irvin Yalom, and Sheldon Solomon culminating in a film that's not only thought-provoking but also entertaining and put together with a lot of clsas (Eric Campos, Film Threat).
Three years in the making and beautifully photogarphed in eight different countries, Flight from Death is a stimulating, ultimately life-affirming film, filled with monumental ideas and revelatory footage (Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times).
