Synopsis: "This is a personal story for me because all of my life I've tried to run from the death of my father."
In The New Death, a documentary about human composting, Amber Strong goes on a quest to understand a seemingly strange new ritual. What does it mean to a mother to watch her deceased son’s soil grow into forest flowers? How does body composting contrast philosophically with how Americans traditionally deal with death? And how could this newly legal practice change how we grieve?
