Abstract
Death is ___ (deathis.sg) is an interactive documentary about people
whose lives revolve around death. These people range from undertakers to
terminally ill patients and through stories of how they deal with end-of-life
issues, we present to viewers various perspectives of death. Death is a natural part of life but in the Asian culture, many find it inauspicious and even rude to talk about it. According to a 2014 Lien Foundation survey, nearly three-quarters of survey respondents believe it is important to have conversations about death or dying, but only half of Singaporeans have talked about death or dying with their loved ones. There are many things people need to talk about when it comes to death. Other than practical decisions such as wills and funerals, there are also emotional matters to be settled before leaving this world for good; for example, things people want to achieve before dying. Therefore, through our project, we want to acknowledge and present these different aspects of death.
