Seeing Death Differently, One Film at a Time.
Reel Talk About Life and Death
Doc & Discussion is an intimate and thought-provoking event series that brings people together to explore death, dying, and what may come next—through powerful documentary storytelling and guided conversation.
Our recent 2025 event featured a screening of Chapter 1: In the Realm of Death and Dreaming from The Heart of Dying documentary series, followed by a moving and insightful conversation led by Rev. Dr. Julie Strassman, a spiritual counselor and bereavement specialist.
Together, we explored questions of consciousness, near-death experiences, and deathbed visions—through both science and story.
Why It Matters
Understanding what might await us at the end of life doesn’t just reduce fear—it helps us live with more clarity, intention, and connection.
This event creates space for honest dialogue about mortality and meaning, and reflects the heart of Last Call’s mission: to bring people together for open, engaging, and death-positive experiences.
What’s Next
Doc & Discussion will return with new films, fresh voices, and more opportunities to gather in community around life’s biggest questions. Whether you’re new to end-of-life conversations or already deep in the work, you’ll leave feeling more grounded, inspired, and connected.
