‘After Death’ a new film about near-death experiences

There’s a new film about NDEs showing in 2,200 theatres across The United States. It presents itself as a “faith-based” American Christian documentary film. It consists of intense high-resolution dramatisations of 10 near-death experiences including those of Mary Neal, Steve Kang, Don Piper, Dale Black, and Howard Storm. It also has interviews with Dr. Michael Sabom, Dr. Jeffrey Long, and Dr. Raymond Moody. For those familiar with the field of NDE studies there is nothing new here, except perhaps significant emphasis on negative near-death experiences claiming that 25% of NDEs are negative. IANDS on the other hand says it’s between 1 and 15 % and most end up being positive – See IANDS on distressing NDEs.

THE EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE

While it is wonderful to bring near-death experiences into the public eye and to provoke discussion, it is a real shame that films which try to prove life after death don’t also present the other twenty-plus areas of evidence for the afterlife. Mediumship, after-death contacts, deathbed visions, out-of-body experiences, pre-birth experiences, reincarnation research, the electronic voice phenomenon, and ITC, etc. have been researched by some of the greatest minds in history. They reinforce each other and together present “a bundle of sticks” where the whole is stronger than any one part alone.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRESENTATION

It is interesting to compare the style of the film “After Death” with this video of cardiologist Dr. Pim van Lommel who became internationally known after his ground-breaking study on NDEs (Near Death Experiences) was published in the respected medical journal, The Lancet, in 2001. Clearly, these two presentations are designed for very different audiences.
