Each year, the global tourism sector gathers in Madrid for FITUR, one of the most prestigious international tourism fairs. Countries and regions from across Spain participate not only to promote their destinations, but also to showcase projects that present a broader and more meaningful perspective to the world.
This year, the Spanish region of Extremadura—located along the border with Portugal—hosted a special presentation at its stand for visitors interested in a unique documentary. Written by Jesús Sánchez Adalid and directed by Manuel Gómez Cano, both distinguished professionals from the region, the film explores the mystery of death and the continuity of consciousness—topics that are gaining growing interest among people from diverse backgrounds and belief systems.
The documentary, titled Searching for the Light, features the participation of Dr. Luján Comas and Dr. Xavier Melo, members of the leadership team of the ICLOBY Foundation. The Foundation leads research on Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) across Spanish-speaking countries, and this body of research became the central focus of the production.
Each episode runs approximately 35 minutes. More than a purely informational piece or a collection of testimonies, the documentary represents a visual narrative built upon years of scientific and human research. Ultimately, it is not limited to discussing death; rather, it invites us to reflect on how we can live when we are free from the fear of dying.
Its launch within the framework of FITUR was especially meaningful. Below is a photo of the moment, along with a link for those interested in learning more about the event and the experience shared there.
