While most have heard of “Near-Death Experiences” (or NDEs), many doubt their reality. In this episode, a journalist shares her story of transformation from not believing in an “afterlife” to becoming convinced that there is a “life beyond”  — all through studying the lives of dozens of “death travelers” who have seen the beyond and come back to tell about it. This episode of “When We Die” highlights the experiences of two people and the remarkable things they learned while they were “dead.”

This short film was produced as part of a three part series for Patheos.com about how faith allows us to face death with courage.
