Dance To Death Afterlife

"There is hope in death if you drink from the whole cup of life. It makes the whole thing all right.” Wisdom not from beyond the grave, but close to it, and spoken by one of the the many people featured in the new film Mortal by filmmakers Sara Feldmann Sheehan and Bobby Sheehan. Featured are people whose lives have been deeply touched by death. Their wisdom is special. It is worth paying attention to, and the film presents it to you in a poignant and beautiful way. Mortal is a film that is both easy and difficult to watch. Easy because of the superior quality of Sara and Bobby’s craft, the skill of their production, and the beauty of their cinematography. Difficult because, well, most of us don’t want to look at death that closely. But if you do, if you dare, you will find Mortal’s story heartbreaking at times, but ultimately a noble and uplifting calling to the human spirit.
