| Overview: | This fascinating, frightening documentary masterfully and graphically explores the ways different cultures treat death and the dead. Witness an autopsy in Mexico, mummification, embalming, cremations, cryogenics, and more.
Experience hysteria, funeral rituals and burials in Thailand, Belgium, Nepal and South Korea, and hear sacred words spoken, chanted or sung by monks, priests, and villagers. Listen to those at death's door: a stabbing victim, a rebel about to be executed in Central America.
"But Thou loveth the truth. Teach me the depths of my wisdom, purify me with hyssop, that I shall be virgin, cleanse me, that I be whiter than snow. Pity us Lord, for we have sinned."
Not for the faint-hearted or squeamish, this enthralling view of the diverse cultures on this planet contains actual events shown in graphic detail.
