Thanks to Honohono Tātou Katoa, the first chapter of this film will be shown in libraries across New Zealand as part of Dying Matters Week 2025.

 

Chapter 1: In the Realm of Death & Dreaming
Does consciousness continue after death?

 

Director Johanna Lunn guides viewers on a personal journey to find answers by, exploring stories of near-death experiences, deathbed visions and more. She speaks with the leading clinicians and researcher who have spent their careers studying these experiences and the nature of consciousness. Their stories are revealed with humour and compassion.

 

Exploring what happens after death not only helps us decide how we want to be cared for at the end of life, but it reduces our fear of death and helps us live more fully.

 

Each film screening will be followed by a facilitated Q&A discussion session.
