Loading... Please wait...December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse the end of time and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness.
Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we re hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it s important, and what we should expect.

I was impressed by this film--an interesting array of scientists discuss various aspects of the "2012" phenomenon, sometimes reaching opposing conclusions. Decided not alarmist or "doom and gloom," with just enough skepticism. An eye opener in the best sense.

I found the film to be very informative, regardless of pre-conceived notions of the 2012 phenomenon. The arguments presented here are not all doom and gloom OR new agey. The panel of interviewees is sensible and well balanced, especially in regards to the astronomical phenomenon and Mayan history. Certainly a thought-provoking piece in an age where change is inevitable.

I had the pleasure of viewing an early screening of this documentary with a couple of its stars and I was very pleased how the film makers took no sides to the debate of what, if anything, will happen on December 21st, 2012. For every theory there was a counter theory. It even touched on the theory of a consciousness shift. It was a real objective approach to the subject that will be in everyone's mind very soon. The array of experts in this documentary was second to none. The Disinformation Company did a fine job on the production of this video. Take it from someone who watches as many 2012 videos as possible, you should not miss this definitive documentary, 2012: Science Or Superstition.
