Would You Choose an Afterlife?

What is our society’s relationship to death? Many are disconnected from its reality and afraid to even think of it or discuss it. How did we get here, and are there different ways to connect to this part of life that we all must face for ourselves and our loved ones? How do we reclaim death from the industries and processes that have distanced us from it?

Would You Choose an Afterlife?

Season 1 Episode 5 | 9m 10s | CC

Across cultures and time, humanity has sought to make meaning of death through ritual, art, myths, and religion. So how has this belief, or lack thereof, helped humans process death? Our host, Curly Velasquez, seeks to explore this question through expert anthropological perspective, and his own origins - by sharing a grieving tradition carried through generations by the women in his family.
