AB  - 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).
