This documentary is unique in its rawness.
It follows the deaths of 3 people, and captures the raw facts of how the state processes what remained after they died when no family or friends came to speak for them: their body, their money, their things.
Through the process and the work of different state employees, some details of the decedents' lives emerge, showing that these were real human beings with life stories - who died alone.
The film is almost like a stoic parent matter-of-factly and plainly illuminating the facts and realities of death to a child who has asked.
A Certain Kind of Death is well worth watching and eye opening. Its' only uncompromising principle being a dedication to sharing the unblinking brute facts and reality of how a state manages the deaths of it's citizens.
For me, the film left a lasting impression, forcing the viewer to ask themselves the obvious question: how do I want my own death to be handled?
