"Flight From Death: The Quest for Immortality" Official Trailer

http://flightfromdeath.com - Narrated by Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects, Vanity Fair, Miller's Crossing), this seven-time Best Documentary award-winning film (Silver Lake Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival) is the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankind's relationship with death ever captured on film. Hailed by many viewers as a "life-transformational film," Flight 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, this documentary explores the ongoing 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, this team of researchers has conducted over 300 laboratory studies, which substantiate Becker's claim that death anxiety is a primary motivator of human behavior, specifically aggression and violence.

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 is "not only thought-provoking but also entertaining and put together with a lot of class" (Eric Campos, Film Threat). Three years in the making and beautifully photographed in eight different countries, Flight from Death is "a stimulating, ultimately life-affirming film, filled with big ideas and revelatory footage" (Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times).

We did do not came from dust and we will not return to dust.

We came from Spirit and we can return to that estate if we choose to.

"A baker bakes bread during the night, and mornings at seven on the dot, the stuff has to be ready on the shop counter. And I'll tell you: The first duty that the enemy has is to commit hostilities. Well, you have to admit, damn it all, that an enemy that lets down a defender is a pig. Everybody has the right to defend themselves. One should have the chance to prove himself."

-Narrator, "The Unprecedented Defense of the Fortress Deutschkreutz," Werner Herzog

@frankystein12 Well, atheists can look to death as an escape into "nothingness" just as religious people can seek an escape to "heaven".
