Death is a common theme in many movies and television shows, but how often does it resemble real life rather than the way we hope things might end? While there are countless examples of onscreen death and grief that do not accurately reflect reality, there are also numerous positive and powerful portrayals that can be found. Together, we will explore some of both! No prior movie-watching experience required. Hosted by Arielle Friedtanzer, Abe Friedtanzer, and Carolyn Hoffman.
