Science and the Séance
Wed 31 Aug, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm  60mins

Tracing the 150-year history of the Spiritualist religion, this
programme reveals the unlikely and surprisingly close relationship
between science and a religion that not only claims there is life
after death, but that communication between the two worlds is
possible.

Using rare private footage and stills, gripping personal testimony and
interviews with theologians and historians of science, the film
explores the cultural, social and technological influences that
informed the movement's development. [S]

Subtitles   Stereo  Widescreen

Thank you so much for posting this info. I'm currently writing an article on Spiritualism and Wicca and may well benefit from watching this programme.

Thanks again ..
