Possession
What is evil? Is it merely a moral concept or the manifestation of an occult force? Do invisible entities really exist (the Devil and his henchmen), capable of taking control of a human body and will? Are demonic possessions a sign of evil or simply misdiagnosed cases of epilepsy? Are individuals who claim to be possessed actually victims of frightful entities from hell, or just poor souls suffering from a mental illness? Religion and science come face to face in this realm of suffering.

Near Death Experiences
According to a Gallup poll (taken in 1982), more than 5% of the American adult population has had a near death experience (NDE): a narrow escape from the clutches of death, marked by a momentary journey to an idyllic realm. For years, the scientific community has believed that these heavenly visions are simply provoked by a chemical reaction in th

HISTORY

IN SEARCH OF HOLY TREASURE - 4 Preview -

Noah’s Ark, the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant were the inspiration for holy quests. Adventurers and historians went forth in search of them. Whether they are true treasures or mere myths, these objects have contributed to the fortunes of adventure writers as well as American and European filmmakers. Other relics, such as the Shroud of Turin, the Holy Tunic of Treves, and the Spear of Longinus still fuel controversy. Are the powers or the miracles attributed to these pious objects verifiable? What does science have to say? What role has the veneration of these relics, by millions of believers, played in history?

THE MANDELA HERITAGE- 1 Preview -

“Good or bad luck can affect your social standing, but they have no influence at all on what you accomplish.”- Nelson Mandela Politics in the 20th century is a trail blazed by a few men who have moulded the destiny of our communities and the entire world. Genocide, war, violence, and authoritarianism have compromised the exercise of power by world leaders, with the exception of one black president in South Africa. The “Father” not only liberated his people from oppression, but also lifted the fear weighing on his own jailors. However, for Nelson Mandela himself, this unique destiny arose only as the final chapter of a long and difficult apprenticeship in the exercise of his own freedom. This feature production relates the lessons that Mandela’s memoirs have drawn for us and the consequences these will have in our world as it evolves. For his exceptional contribution to world peace, Canada honoured Mandela by granting him Canadian citizenship on November 19, 2001.

SPECIAL DELIVERY - 3 Preview -

« The Curse of the Black Stamp » At first ignored by all, a postage stamp, the Black Twelve Pence, became one of the most sought-after stamps in the history of Canadian philately. Later, minted but unsold sheets were destroyed and the originalissue became one of the rarest stamps known, sparking the enthusiasm of collectors. But the lucky collectors became innocent victims of fate: robbery, bizarre incidents, and strange disappearances. “The Curse of the Black Stamp” follows this saga with all the drama of a murder.
Every nation in the world prints stamps commemorating men and women renowned for their contribution to their nation. Canada is no exception to the rule. Behind pretty portraits from the past —for all the world innocent images—there is often another hidden truth covered in mystery, intrigue and death. Under the serene pose of the honoured figure on the stamps’ face, history may recall tragedy and the death of the person depicted. Filmed in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and London, this episode of ‘Special Delivery’ recounts the disappearance or murder of remarkable people to whom these “Stamps to Remember” are dedicated.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GILLES PROULX - 7 Preview -

Gilles Proulx, a well-known journalist, masters the French language with disconcerting poise. An ardent advocate of the widow and the orphan, redresser of wrongs, his distinct judgments, and sometimes a few provocative remarks, make him one of the most colorful charactes in Quebec, a key figure in our social life and public affairs. However, far from being an advocate of ideas, there is another facet of Gilles Proulx’s personality that interests the media less: the passionate historian, the eternal globe trotter, the unrepentant traveller. The rebel voyager travels around the world and is fascinated by different peoples and their culture, curious about customs, society, and history. Away from beaten paths and conventional destinations, Gilles Proulx has become one of our adventure journey pioneers. “The World According to Gilles Proulx” presents stories of his fabulous trips in unchartered regions that are often omitted in tourist guide books. And, of course, his comments are stamped with a historical seal, punctuated with anecdotes and philosophical thoughts… because each great traveller is first and foremost in search of something deep within..
