The Baby Boom ends with a bang: over a billion people will die in the next 15 years, and our funeral systems aren't ready for the "Death Boom." As morgues overflow and wallets empty, a broken, billion-dollar industry is exposed. But better options exist. This shocking, eye-opening, and surprisingly uplifting documentary dives deep into the business of death, revealing who's keeping it alive, and why. With unprecedented access and bold voices leading a new movement, Death Boom reclaims the end of life with humanity, sustainability, and just the right dose of dark humor.
