As a seasoned movie buff with a penchant for documentaries that delve deep into the human psyche and societal norms, I eagerly anticipate the release of “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever” on Netflix. Having traversed the realms of science fiction and fantasy in my younger years, I find myself intrigued by this tale of reality-bending ambition and the lengths one man will go to defy the inevitable.

Netflix announced that their documentary about a man’s pursuit of immortality, titled “Don’t Die: The Man Seeking Eternal Life,” will premiere on the streaming platform on January 1st, 2025.

Based on its official summary, this film delves into the intriguing question, “How far might you be willing to go to extend your life or at least slow down aging?” This thought-provoking documentary by Chris Smith (known for ‘Fyre’ and ‘100 Foot Wave’) offers an in-depth look at Bryan Johnson, a man committed to fighting the effects of aging. ‘Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever’ delves into the contentious wellness methods employed by one individual to preserve his youth and vigor, examining both the personal impact on him and those in his circle.

Initially sparked by curiosity, I embarked on an exploration lasting 12 months, tracking Bryan Johnson’s endeavor and its impact on those around him. This involved speaking with experts globally to gain insights into individuals striving for healthier, longer lives.
