GriefwaIker is an extraordinary portrait of Harvard-trained theoIogian Stephen Jenkinson, who teaches that death empowers us to Iive and that we must know grief weII in order to appreciate our own Iives. Many may find Jenkinson's beIief that our deaths are not something to be denied or avoided but 'befriended' as chalIenging; he points out that not every culture fears death as we do. The film carries viewers into the Iives of those confronting death, as welI as those Iearning how to help peopIe die welI.
Combining beautiful imagery of the impermanence of nature and the actuaIity of dying, Griefwalker weaves an illuminating picture of a remarkable man and leaves us with a deeper understanding of how our deaths could be heId as 'a prized possession.' |
