Examining the notion of reincarnation

When 11-year-old Haneen Al-Arum first remembered her past-life, she was just two-and-a-half years-old. Haneen belongs to the Druze, a mysterious Lebanese religious sect who believe that, at the point of death, they are reincarnated into the bodies of new-born babies. 

Back From The Dead takes Roy Stemman, editor of Reincarnation International magazine, and sceptic Chris French to war-ravaged Lebanon to investigate. Travelling through the magical Lebanese landscape, the two men encounter a number of children believed by their families to be reincarnations of other people. They even witness Haneen being introduced to her ‘former’ family, who immediately acknowledge her as their dead mother. As the film progresses, Roy becomes more convinced that he is witnessing the living proof of his firmly-held belief. Chris, however, is not so sure.
