Fire on the Mountain: A Gathering of Shamans
"A film by David Cherniack Productions in association with Global Vision Corporation and Mystic Fire Video
"Fire on the Mountain: A Gathering of Shamans is a documentary about the connection between consciousness and nature, as embodied in the spiritual traditions of Indigenous Peoples, whose ecological metaphors of the sacred are so relevant to the modern world. We shot the project in 1997 at a historic 10-day gathering of shamans from five continents, who travelled to Karma Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist retreat centre in the Val Saint-Hugon in Savoy, in the French Alps, to discuss their concerns with H.H. the Dalai Lama and high-level representatives of the world's religions. This documentary embodies the wish of these Indigenous People - all traditional wisdom-keepers, shamans and medicine-women - who requested us to communicate their message to the world.
"The video can be purchased by online mailorder from Mystic Fire Video."

He tells us that we can rewire our brains to create new possibilities and realities! Lost Arts Productions (2006)"
Angels - Heavenly messengers or Demonic spirits?
"From the Greek Hermes and the Persian Asmodeus to the Bible's Michael and Satan, this fascinating History channel program examines the portrayal of angels in history, religion and art -- and whether they actually exist. A balanced and lively conversation results from pitting opinions of the faithful against views of pragmatic scholars, shedding light on a rarely debated gray area between religious and scientific thought.
"This documentary recounts witness testimonials of angelic encounters both of heavenly and demonic nature."

Everyman: 'The End of the World'
"Everyman: 'The End of the World' looks at various groups who believe the end of the world is coming as the 20th century draws to a close (the programme was shown in 1996).
"It's an interesting documentary examining what and why they believe. Contained within the 'end of the world' myth are the 'damned' and the 'saved' - those who are 'chosen' and those who are not. At the end of the world is a decisive and dramatic confrontation where good faces evil. In this understanding of time, believers find a world that finally makes sense to them and vindicates their belief. Some groups prepare for conflict and create safe houses preparing for 'show time' while for others the end is merely a period of transition where there is a 'new age' after the appearance of a 'powerful being' or a 'second coming'.
"The people who believe in the end of the world are both Christian and Non-Christian, some are US Militias who think the UN wants to form a world government (news stories on such groups appears to have faded since Sept 11 2001) and others believe in extra terrestrial entities coming to the Earth in UFOs. It's interesting to note the defensive psychology of these groups and the dominant ideologies of our current age of anxiety.
"Notable contributions include Noam Chomsky."
It should be noted that such beliefs are systematically rife at the end of every century and millenium.
