Aside From That: A Film About Everyone’s Least Favorite Topic. We know we’re going to die. And most of us are disturbed, not to say terrified, at the prospect.
Haunted by existential dread, we yearn for a bit of wisdom that might ease our path through
life and our passage to whatever -- if anything -- lies beyond. Is there, to borrow a phrase from the corporate world, a best practice for thinking about our
own mortality? How should we live, knowing we are going to die?
We pose these questions to random pedestrians ambushed on their lunch hour with intimate
inquiries about death. Seeking expert perspective, we also probe the minds of prominent
philosophers, spiritual leaders, academics, and one stand-up comic.
