KURTZ TO APPEAR ON HBO SPECIAL "LIFE AFTERLIFE"
Linda Ellerbee's production company, Lucky Duck Productions, has produced a
two-hour documentary for HBO on the afterlife, spiritualism, and near death
experience. A documentary crew traveled to Amherst, New York last fall to
interview CSICOP chair Paul Kurtz on the topic.
The world premiere is on HBO October 5 at 7:30pm. In addition, the film has
already been accepted at The Breckenridge Film Festival and The Vancouver
International
Film Festival, and the producers are hoping to screen the show at a few
others.
So, in other words, this one is big. No word though on the treatment of the
topic.
We'll all have to tune-in October 5 to HBO and see.
