The Common Lot
Description
Light at the end of a tunnel, dear ones greeting us, a feeling of eternal well-being… More and more people who have returned from death’s door claim they have experienced a near-death experience. Given their similarities with certain ideas of the Christian faith, the Catholic Church is in the witness box. What do these NDEs mean? Do they confirm or contradict the Christian faith? Should we take a fresh look at our notions of judgment, hell, purgatory, and paradise? Witnesses, scientists, and clerics give their views and lift a corner of the veil. A film to watch in order to see farther…and clearer.
