      abstract = {Narrated by Golden Globe Winner Gabriel Byrne (Usual  Suspects, HBO's In Treatment, Miller's Crossing), this  7-time Best Documentary award-winning film 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).},
