The Mystic Lands series was produced
by The Duncan Group in association with Discovery Networks
(TLC). The series premiered in more than 100 countries around
the world in the late '90s. The Mystic Lands Collector's Edition
is now available for the first time as a DVD COLLECTOR'S EDITION.
This 3-disc set includes several new bonus features such as
a series introduction, an interview with the series director,
and an interview with the series composer, Chris Spheeris.
In some cases, Mystic Lands provides
insights into lesser-known spiritual places such as Buddhist
sites in Bhutan, the Anasazi ruins of North America, or remote
sections of Burma and Haiti. The series also delves into many
spiritual practices that are not considered part of the religious
mainstream including Vodou, Nat Worship, and the spiritual
practices of the Aboriginal people of Australia and the Andes.
