REVIEW: BEYOND AND BACK

Sunn Classic Pictures documentary examining life after death

I don't know if I am the only person that remembered this movie in the whole world! It is a docu-drama about people dying in various ways and experiencing a brief time as a spirit, then returning (or being allowed to return) to their body to tell about what they experienced as a spirit. It had a profound impact on me at the time and I remember being much more at ease at the thought of dying. I distinctly remember as we walked out of the theater my mother saying to me: "I'm not afraid to die". I thought about this movie for years and have never forgotten the stories. The one that stands out most for me is the story that you are seeing now...the woman who killed herself and saw pictures of her unborn kids. This is of course just my recollection from 1978 and may not be exactly right. If you have a chance to get your hands on this film, I highly recommend you watch it. When someone says that this is the way it happened to them when they died and then were lucky enough to come back to tell about it, its hard to refute. I guess you'll have to make up your own mind. As for me, I'm a firm believer in life after death,Beyond and Back is one of the few movies that impacted me for years to come. I saw it with my mother back in 1978 at a local theater. This was after my mother's brother died that year. Those who have seen this movie or may see this movie in the future and who enjoy it may also be interested in the books by Mary K. Baxter called an "A Divine Revelation of Hell", "A Divine Revelation of Heaven", or "A Divine Revelation of the Spirit Realm".
