Top 7 faith-inspired films of 2023
'After Death’
The new Angel Studios documentary “After Death,” now showing in theaters nationwide, showcases people's experiences in the moments after dying and being revived back to life.
The film had a historic opening weekend, becoming the highest-grossing faith documentary of all time after its weekend debut reached the No. 4 spot at the box office, earning $5,060,815.
“After Death” is a “thought-provoking exploration into the enigmatic question that has fascinated humanity for centuries: ‘What happens when we die?’ Through personal accounts, philosophical discussions, and scientific research, the film takes viewers on a profound journey of discovery," according to the film's description.
In the movie, Captain Dale Black details the life-transforming experiences he had 50 years ago after a plane he boarded with his fight instructor and another pilot crashed into a monument, leaving him as the sole survivor.
Along with Black, others featured in the film include New York Times bestselling authors, doctors and scientists.
"After coming back to life, Black found that the things he learned in those moments, in between life and death, "deepened my faith." "But way more than that, it overhauled it. It put it on steroids. It turbocharged it. It's like taking a propeller-driven airplane and putting a rocket on it. It completely transformed me,” Black told The Christian Post in a recent interview.
