Talking to the dead

A personal exploration into the world of the Spiritualist Church. In the London town of Walthamstow, Richard Alwyn is drawn into a world where the dead continue to speak to their living relatives. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, this is a film about grief and loss and a faith in survival beyond the grave. Can its believers be simply dismissed as living a fantasy?
