Death Makes Life Possible takes the viewer on a beautiful and ground-breaking journey through one of life's most taboo topics: death. A game-changer for anyone confronting issues of mortality — our own or others, the film presents compelling (and comforting) ideas on the mysteries of death, backed by scientific research and captivating stories from scholars, health professionals, spiritual teachers, scientists, children, and those who have had near-death experiences.

Glamorously eccentric and enigmatic Theremin virtuoso Armen Ra recounts his dynamic journey in this life-spanning documentary that mixes rare concert performances, deeply candid interviews, and archive material with the magical power of music that can alchemize ancient sorrow into timeless beauty. Having performed in esteemed venues including the United Nations and Lincoln Center, and appeared on CNN, HBO, MTV, VH1 and in Vogue, The New York Times, The Village Voice, Rolling Stone and Glamour, Ra is one of few remaining Theremin masters in the world, playing an instrument that is no longer being made.
