This documentary brings up iconoclasts like Luis Buñuel, Jackson Pollock and other artists of the past in looking at the work of six modern artists/performers. The director James Scott interviews each of the six modernists, whose activities range from painting murals on prison walls -- on the inside, the artist is in jail -- to "non-dramatic" solo performances that last for more than a week, hopefully with enough intermissions to assure a live audience at the end. While the academic tone of the interviews may give the same respect to the prison artist as to a Jackson Pollack, the exact distance that separates the artistic talent of the two men will be the considered judgment of present and future art historians. Scott's six chosen subjects, however, certainly are interesting enough on their own and merit some attention as unique individuals dedicated to their art, in whatever form it takes.

Experience the ultimate in cinematic shock and horror as Dr. Francis Gross (Michael Carr) leads viewers on a guided exploration of that fateful moment when the spark of life is brutally snuffed out. Everybody dies -- it's the fate we all face from the moment we're born. There's simply no escape from the encroaching darkness, and in this film we're offered a firsthand glimpse at the many ways that life can end. From airplane crashes to railway disasters, some of us meet a spectacular end while others fall prey to hungry wildlife predators, an assassin's bullet, or - as in the case of some condemned prisoners - get strapped into the electric chair and blasted into the afterlife with over 2000 volts of pure electricity. With Dr. Gross as our guide, we bear witness to death in its many forms -- even visiting a debauched death cult that mixes the ecstasy of sex with the sweet release of that final moment. Horrific glimpses of animal slaughter reveal the cruelty man can unleash upon creatures lower on the food-chain, and authentic autopsy footage indulges our morbid curiosities about our final stop on the way to the grave.
