About Life and Death (2005)

Six Israeli public figures participate in this gripping documentary series touching upon substantial questions, which worry us all. Each one of them, at his/her turn, departs for an experimental journey, which suggests a variety of moving, sometimes amusing, always inspiring encounters. In each episode we are introduced to a gallery of colorful characters who obsessively engage themselves with the question of unavoidability of death. The mentor of the series is Psychology professor, Carlo Strenger, who drives the participants throughout Israel, as they discuss with him what they have encountered. The "psychologist-chauffer" is also the one who meets the whole group at the final episode to try and figure out together what kind of insights they now share.
