Facing Fear

You'd imagine that if you gathered a panel of leading experts from across the spectrum of biological science, psychology, spirituality, metaphysics, and mystics that you'd find a fair bit of disagreement. Well, not here. Even though each of filmmaker Bill Bennet's interviewees stated what they were saying in a slight different way, there was an obvious sense of agreement on the subject of fear. What it is, how it affects us, how to respond to it.

Yep, there were some real crackpots featured in it (and depending who you are who they are will probably differ), but honestly, even the people whose worldview was not mine made sense and said helpful things. I genuinely found the theme of this film and the information shared helpful.

I was also delighted to discover that for the most part, my life is no longer marked by fear. It had been previously, but thanks to TRTP - the trauma therapy featured in the film - fear, phobias, anxiety, depression, and stress no longer rule me like they did in the past. It was such a delight to watch a film on fear, find incredible agreement with so many of what it is, but also know that I've found an effective way to face it.

Everyone needs to watch this film - several times, and take notes.

On each viewing, more richness is taken away by the viewer. Thus film made me think. Made me dive deeply into an examination of my own fears and the impact they are having on my life - and how to deal with them. Are they real fears? Or are they false fears - a story I'm making up?

A film for 10 year olds to 100 year olds.

A film that causes conversations, causes deep reflection.

A visually stunning film. I now need to revisit Tasmania, Australia.

The drone footage was so apt, so powerful.

Well Done, Bill Bennett and Jennifer Cluff!

And - Thank You.

A beautiful, thought-provoking film, filled with lots of information and perspectives about fear. This film was useful to me on both a personal level as an individual and on a professional level as a Counsellor. It was so interesting to learn about fear from many different practitioners and experts. I feel that this film has contributed to my ever growing knowledge base as a trauma-informed therapist. Fear affects us all, at some point in our lives. I found this film ultimately comforting; and I really loved going along on the journey with Bill in his pursuit of knowledge and information. I highly recommend this film to be watched by everyone, not just those that work in this field.

Anyone who gives this film anything less than 10 stars is being very harsh and negative. I'm a hardcore critic of all entertainment, and this was a stellar film! This is a subject that more people need to be talking about. I was happy to see so many wonderful spiritual authors and public figures, whom I love, featured in this movie. Also, the cinematography is amazing! I left feeling more hopeful and I have a new, healthier way of looking at fear. This is a must-see! Bill is great. Very gracious and quite funny.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing any future films like the next one on HOPE.

Looking for answers in all the wrong places. 3rd rate new age gurus making all sorts of assertions about subjects they have no clue on. The writer clearly has little concept about the subject & is seeking to allay his own life issues but is making the same mistake that many of us do in our teens but in his 60's.

Avoid at all costs - do not waste your time or money. Why does a nun, a psychic, a faith healer a medium and a person who hears voices participate in this farce of a show? Money can be the only reason.

The lack of anyone with any credibility can be attributed to the lunatics engaged to give outrageous opinions!
