Storyline

As a “spiritual follow-up” to 'Fin', 'Death Boom' “pulls back the curtain on the catastrophic mental and environmental impacts of the contemporary death care industry. The film, shown through the lens of the workers at the heart of it as they prepare for the passing of 77 million baby boomers, exposes the toll that embalming, cremation, and traditional burial have on those who’ve passed, their families, and deathcare workers, and the corruption – political, religious, and corporate – that stands in opposition to greener methods being nationally legalized and accessible.”

Leave it to Eli Roth to put the fun in funeral. But leave it to Roth, director Jessica Chandler, and the fascinating new documentary DEATH BOOM to also find the inevitable connection between the Baby Boom and what is now the unspoken "Death Boom."

There is much, much more to absorb in watching this fine film that in the end is quite comforting for this Baby Boomer — proof that it is possible to keep giving back to the planet after you’re physically no longer part of it, if you want to.
