Presenters visit UNF to introduce combined ideas of fear and voting
Filmmaker Greg Bennick and social psychologist Sheldon Solomon will be speaking at UNF on “Terror at the Voting Booth” at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 in the Robinson Theater.
Bennick will be showcasing his film, “Flight from Death: The Quest for Immortality,” a documentary about the psychological human conflicts with death and how it can affect one’s decision making.
The discussion will focus particularly on the harms that arise from reminders of death, which can shape one’s views in the political realm and perhaps manipulates the way one decides to vote, Bennick said.
