Near Death Experience and Afterlife Documentaries

Heaven: Where Is It? How Do We Get There? (2006) NR

Journeying from Dharamsala, India, to Harlem, N.Y., journalist Barbara Walters explores the meaning of heaven -- an idea that exists across almost every culture and ethnic group. In search of answers, Walters talks to religious leaders such as the Dalai Lama, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, as well as scientists, people who say they've experienced heaven, and even terrorists ready to martyr themselves to get there.

Nearly nine out of 10 people in the United States say they believe in heaven, according to a recent ABC News poll. But what exactly do people think of when they think of an afterlife and what do they believe is required to get there?

Barbara Walters travels to India, Israel and throughout the United States, interviewing religious leaders, scientists, believers and non-believers alike to get a range of perspectives on heaven and the afterlife.
