In the first documentary in the When You Die Trilogy the

audience is guided by Director Johanna Lunn on a journey to

discover if consciousness continues after death by exploring

personal stories of near-death experiences, deathbed visions,

scientific insights, and more. She speaks with leading clinicians

and researchers who have spent their careers studying these

experiences and the nature of consciousness. Their stories are

revealed with humor 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 as it turns out,

exploring death is surprisingly life-giving!

How can we talk about death? What is a good death? Does the body need

help to die? What quality of life is enough for us? Where do we want to

die? What is a conscious death? Could we have one? In the second

documentary in the When You Die Trilogy, Director Johanna Lunn

addresses our fear head-on by speaking with professionals who have

spent their careers at the bedside. She guides the audience into honest

conversations about the questions most of us avoid.

Whether you are caring for an aging loved one or looking ahead to your

own death, Saying Goodbye: Preparing for Death opens the door to

good conversations about what we feel, think, and want when death

approaches. Don’t wait until you’re in crisis to decide how you want to be

cared for. Making decisions now about what we want when facing the

inevitable is a great kindness to ourselves, and to the ones we love.

The third installment of the When You Die Trilogy, Architecture of

Death: The Inner World of Dying, seeks to answer: What happens as

we are dying? What could the final months, weeks, and days of life

look like for the person who is dying? And for the people who love

them?

The film explores the physical aspect of dying, as well as the unseen

felt experiences that can occur, such as: the changing roles within a

family, the potential to heal old wounds, deathbed visions or dreams,

messages to loved ones from the dying or recently passed, and a host

of other phenomena. Professionals and leading clinicians who have

spent their careers at the bedside share extraordinary stories, as Director Johanna Lunn takes viewers by the hand to explore what

death might look like.

The When You Die Trilogy is a compassionate documentary series exploring death, dying, grief, and what may happen at the end of life. Through personal stories and insights from leading experts, the films invite us to replace fear and uncertainty with curiosity, understanding, and meaningful conversation.
