Life Afterlife

Running time: 86 mins

What happens when we die? Does consciousness survive, and, if so, can the dead contact the living? Scientific principles say no, but recent surveys report that over fifty million Americans have had some sort of after death communication or have witnessed apparitions. Top mediums receive over sixty calls a day from people who seek contact with their deceased loved ones. Is it religious desire, or mass madness, or a sign of our incremental evolution as a culture? As we begin the new millennium, science and faith are attempting to meet halfway. Science is changing conceptions of how we experience life--by investigating the survival of consciousness. Lisa F. Jackson's Life Afterlife ventures to try to answer the age-old questions of life after death through dozens of moving personal stories and interviews with believers and skeptics who attempt to calm their grief with the help of a medium. Included is extraordinary and convincing footage from the first-ever scientific experiment designed to test the abilities of five of the country's top mediums by measuring their heart and brain waves as they consult with the dead. Life Afterlife is as fascinating and engaging as it is thought provoking. It may or may not answer our questions about where we go when we die, but it certainly provides a deeper insight to the "other side."
