‘Don’t Die’: Netflix Documentary Chronicles the Health Regimen of the Man Who Wants to Live Forever
As a filmmaker with a passion for unconventional stories and a background in technology, I found myself intrigued by a headline about a tech entrepreneur aiming to spend $2 million a year to turn back the hands of time to age 18. Hearing such an extraordinary tale immediately struck me as a potential subject for my next documentary project. However, I soon realized that this venture would not be without its challenges.
In my experience, tackling unique and innovative narratives often requires navigating complex ethical dilemmas and technical hurdles. In the case of Bryan Johnson’s quest, these obstacles may include addressing the moral implications of such a dramatic life change, exploring the feasibility of his goals from both scientific and philosophical perspectives, and ensuring that the story remains grounded in reality while still captivating audiences.
I am eager to embark on this exciting journey, as I believe that documenting Johnson’s endeavor could provide valuable insights into the intersection of technology, aging, and human ambition. However, I understand the importance of approaching this topic with sensitivity, nuance, and a critical eye.
