2:30 pm Death: A Series About Life - Life After Death - Faced with death, we search for meaning and hope. Only a few find the biological explanation sufficient, and in all societies dating back to the Neanderthals, there have been notions and stories of what happens to us after death. In this programme we look into how we ritualise death, and how these rituals reveal what we believe happens after we die. We travel the world to find an enormous diversity in how societies deal with death. It seems that there lies a deep need in humankind to believe that death is not the end, that there is a supreme power. But there is a life after death? Philosophers and scientists give their thoughts. (Part 2 of 5) (From Norway, in English) (Documentary) (Rpt) PG(A) CC
