2012: Science or Superstition

"This documentary brings together leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field such as Graham Hancock, John Major Jenkins, Daniel Pinchbeck, Alberto Villoldo, Anthony Aveni, Robert Bauval, Jim Marrs, Walter Cruttenden, Lawrence E. Joseph, Alonso Mendez, Douglas Rushkoff, John Anthony West and Benito Vegas Duran, who tell us exactly what the date, December 21, 2012 means to them, why it’s important, and what we should expect. This film attempts to demystify this date and undertakes a critical analysis to separate science from fiction, given that it is the last date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. This fact has given rise to countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debating 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. But only time will tell what exactly it means!"
