Walking After Midnight is a 1988 Canadian documentary film directed by Jonathan Kay. It screened in the Perspectives Canada section of the Toronto Festival of Festivals in late 1988.[1] The film features celebrities from film and music, as well as the Dalai Lama, discussing reincarnation and speculating on their past lives.[2][3] Narrated by Ringo Starr,[4] it includes appearances by Martin Sheen, James Coburn, k.d. lang, Willie Nelson, Donovan, Catherine Oxenberg, Rae Dawn Chong[2] and Helen Shaver.[3]
The stories are supported by musical accompaniment[2] and partly told through re-enactments.[3] Sheen recalls a near-death experience he had while filming Apocalypse Now in the 1970s, and Lang asserts that in a past life she was country singer Patsy Cline.[2]
