Experiencing Interruptions?

Lebenspanorama- A portrait on the search for Reincarnation

The majority of people believe in life after death, for example in the immortality of the soul or the resurrection of the dead. About 25% believe in reincarnation.
Cult and observation sites from the Bronze Age are witnesses that our ancestors already believed in life after death.
The question of what form the transformation of the spirit takes after death is now accompanied by research in the field of neuroscience, near-death experiences, reincarnation research, Buddhist belief and regression therapy. The film poses these questions to the Buddhist teacher Ole Nydahl, the psychologist Hans Markowitsch and the reincarnation researcher Dieter Hassler. Will the new insights bring us certainty?

Director Statement

For me, documentary film always means bringing a bit more truth to the surface. It means asking questions, being open for new insights and also questioning one's own position again and again.
