Editorial Reviews

Review
With such prolific speakers and a well founded message being pushed, the production must have been a struggle and the team involved must have encountered some strong criticism whilst on their journey of bringing this excellent title to our screens. David Sereda s angle in this film is a good one. The DVD has some stunning visuals, which include highly professional 3D rendering. These animations aide in making the DVD a pleasure to watch, not forgetting the core material, of course. During the movie the viewer is treated to some excellent interviews with people like Robert Thurman, Roger Weir, John Hutchison, Boyd Bushman, Dean Haglund (from X-Files fame) and Rob Simone among others. Appearances by the legendary Stephen Bassett, Jesse Marcel III and Dr. Roger Leir will also be very welcomed by the viewer. The film itself starts off on a rather unorthodox route, mainly sharing the tale of Sereda, his fiancé (Crystal Elina Frost) and their cute little dog (Nuala) as they go on a journey to find answers to some age old, very pertinent questions. It s a tale of spirituality, theology, science and wisdom. The mix of subject matter is diverse and highly compelling. While David Sereda doesn t claim to be an actor, we get the feeling that the tongue in cheek start to the DVD is more aimed at explaining the pressing message that the overall production is trying to encompass. Acting skills aside, Sereda knows what he s talking about and with the excellent pre and post production work that s been done on this DVD, you will be taken on a self journey of education and intrigue. The baseline message of the first hour from the film is that of finding a technology or technologies that will couple the understanding of faster-than-light speed travel with sustainability for the human race, on Earth. The first segment goes on to talk about meditation and awareness of the self, whilst being mingled with excerpts from interviews with such people as Terry Tamminen, Secretary of California s Environmental Protection Agency, Professor David Phillips, a psychology teacher at Santa Monica College (and one of the founding members of the Santa Monica Green Team), Robert Thurman, the Je Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University (Time Magazine once chose him as one of the 25 most influential Americans alive), and Jesse Marcel Jr. III, grandson to the famous Jesse Marcel Sr. (of Roswell fame). There are several references to the Roswell incident and mentions about the levels of secrecy that the whole technology-recovery melting pot has been accustomed to over the years. Throughout the first segment of this mini-series and indeed the whole film, the physics that Sereda talks about have definite depth and scientific standing. Let s take the Graviton for example. (Which is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravity.) Sereda speaks of the science behind this theory which makes a whole lot of sense if you step back, learn the facts, and listen to what he has got to say. The core second hour of the film seems to focus on the subject of UFOs, moreover on anti-gravidics. Of course, this is due to the bond that these unidentified craft, which are spotted all around the globe, have with an apparent form of anti-gravity technology. During this part of the series, the Sereda Family continue on their voyage of discovery. They visit Mount Shasta whilst tackling various theories and viewpoints. They also meet with various experiencers, Hinton Harrison being a very significant part of that. They question such things as; what will happen to 6.5 billion souls if Mother Earth is destroyed, higher consciousness and personal anti-gravity craft. All relevant questions that are rarely raised by the mainstream. FV s verdict: Sheer poetry, Mr. Sereda et all. 9/10 --Freedom Video, Oct 15, 2007

About the Actor
Boyd Bushman
Senior Research Scientist, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, 1986 to 2000 (and present consultant), Mr. Bushman has participated in Advanced Aircraft Concepts as a member of the technical team. He has conducted European Theater Tactical Fighter performance analysis, coordinated customer interface and development performance concepts. He developed laser, electro-optical sensor, and power systems. He developed and taught analysis courses. Several million-dollar contracts were obtained directly from him. Bushman holds 26 US Patents and classified Patents.

Robert Thurman is the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion at Columbia University, President of the Tibet House U.S. (a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Tibetan civilization), and President of the American Institute of Buddhist Studies, a non-profit affiliated with the Center for Buddhist Studies at Columbia University and dedicated to the publication of translations of important texts from the Tibetan Tanjur.

Dean Haglund
Though he has done cartooning and even played in a rock band ("We were terrible!" he admits), he always returned to his first love - the stage. His acting career began early, with roles in school plays and community theater at the Prairie Theatre Exchange in Winnipeg. When he was old enough to get into bars, he started doing stand-up comedy acts to help pay for acting classes. He eventually moved to Vancouver and began attending Simon Fraser University, getting a Bachelor of Arts in multidisciplinary studies (theatre, dance, and video production). He also joined the Vancouver TheatreSports League; an improv group that was to be his "day job" for many years. While at the Vancouver TheatreSports League, he started scripting some of the group's routines, including several festival and corporate stage shows for them. This eventually led to his cowriting the pilot for a situation comedy called "Channel 92," which aired on UTV. About the same time, he began to get bit parts in television shows such as "Sliders," "Lonesome Dove: The Return," and "Street Justice" and this led to his being hired on for a one-time bit part on a show called "The X-Files."

Stephen Bassett is arguably the leading advocate in the nation for ending the 58-year government-imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race and the planet Earth. He is a political activist, lobbyist, commentator and columnist. He is the founder of the Paradigm Research Group, the Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPAC), and the author of the Paradigm Clock website. His work has been referenced in, among others, the Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Times, Legal Times, Christian Science Monitor, National Journal, Pravda, London Sunday Express and O'Dweyer's Washington Report. Since 1996, Bassett has assisted many other organizations and initiatives which have been making the case for 1) an end to the government embargo on the truth surrounding an extraterrestrial presence, and 2) open Congressional hearings to take the testimony of former military and agency employees witness to extraterrestrial-related events and evidence. He has appeared on hundreds of radio and television talk shows, in numerous documentaries and brought the message to millions of people of the likelihood and implications of "disclosure" - the formal acknowledgement by the United States government of an extraterrestrial presence about the Earth - not maybe, not someday, but NOW.

Customer Reviews

Fascinating!5
I enjoyed this 2 DVD set. It was very thought provoking. I gave the DVD five stars because of the scientific content and discussion.

Honestly however, I found the presentation to be uneven, and perhaps in places, even corny. The DVD starts with David seeing a ghost. Later on he takes a trip to Mount Shasta hoping to be beamed aboard a spaceship. Very late in the program they have a round table discussion with many experts about whether Extra-Terrestrials are waiting for us to destroy ourselves so they can occupy the Earth. I found these, and similar portions of the DVD to be mildly amusing, but not that interesting.

However, the scientific portions of this presentation were absolutely amazing and kept me wanting more. I actually watched the entire program in one sitting. When they were discussing the implication of a binomial expansion of Einstein's equation E=mc*c and how it points to the fact that there are possibly 3 forces in the universe that we don't even know about, I was riveted. When they were demonstrating how magnetic forces interact with copper and aluminum and reduce the force of gravity I was amazed. When the discussion centered on going faster than the speed of light, I found the information easy to understand and compelling. The implications of this radical information could transform life on this planet in short order.

Even with its shortcomings, I cannot recommend this DVD highly enough. If you have a scientific bent and want to expand your horizons, I can't think of a better DVD to watch.

mess of a video1
This is a dreadful mess of a video...badly filmed with a home cam feel and painfully acted by a hysterical wife and the actor. Very disappointing. However, I did enjoy the very brief moments during the film when Robert Thurman spoke.

Dissapointing2
I watched clips on youtube focusing around Boyd Bushman who was a Ceo of Locheed in the 50's, this made me want to purchase this video and see if any more information could be gained.

The majority of the film centers around the story of this man and his wife who go on a mission to call down UFOs and leave the planet. Alnong the way, they meet and talk to various knowledgebable people and gather information.

All the juicy bits are on Youtube. I was quite dissapointed with the long lenght of the film, the ammature techniques used and the extraneous plot scenes that just go on too long. There are two discs so its about 3 hours long with about..... 1 hour of interesting info.
