Wonderful to be able to watch something serious on this subject and gather together so many witness accounts of UFO's or wxperiences of the unexplainable. Also going back in history and looking at different cultures and comparing exoeriences and records of experiences - past and present.

As soon as you mentiin UFO's you set yourself up for ruiucule especially by scientists who know far more than I /we do - or do they?

I especially liked the examining of biblical sightings and prophetic visions and their comparison with present day witness accounts.

As well as the accounts and research on the phenomena around nuclear sites.

This is a very intelligent and open minded investigation.

Ok you can see it as propaganda but isnt every angle propaganda. I totally admire him for using the media to counteract other propaganda and tell his story.

A bit sickly sweet in parts for my taste and his wife never seems to take an active tole in anything. But a really good story based on his life and what he was doing.

He and his church were persecuted because they were too popular. Popular for the powers that be can mean too much power, 'corrupt', 'exploitative'. People must be saved from the saver of souls. Those in power are threatened by people who pull big crowds. Influencing without their control, especially when people are giving then money.

Although the money is invested in more churches and the ministry as well as himself and family.

Not sure about the role of Carlos. Is he family? Why is he so ambivalent? He seemed to be in charge of media yet didnt seem totally for them and used footage against them.

Was the church roof collapsing an accident?

Brilliant he was not scared out of action and the way he also used the media in the service of god - if you believe in his uncorruptable faith which I do - especially seeing the real Edir afterwards. He was not afraid to go big and bigger and - why not? After all Jesus had twelve disciples but said to them that after his death 'you will do much more than I have done'. In the age of mass media you dont have to stick to 12.

It is really good to see a series about faith not just more rape, killing, violence etc that we are served up daily and nightly. We are so used to the usual exploitation in our fictionalised viewing we cant see it for what it is.

At first I wasnt sure about this series - with so many slave beatings but it much more three dimensional. There are so many twists and turns of plot and the characters (and or the actors playing the characters) are brilliant. Morales, the overseer, is amazing, showing something slightly enigmatic from the beginning. The only character I couldnt engage with was the older Miguel. I think he was meant to portray some 'nobility' which separated him from the other slaves. However I thought his macho possessive anger just seemed like irritating petulance and a lack of wisdom, compassion and understanding. However I havent got to the end. Peoples behaviour and responses show wisdom and lack of wisdom and morals on all stratas of society. The father or adopted father of Victoria is like a constant. In the background, quiet, steady, wise. Is Morales name a coincidence? Actually the more I think about this film the more I see in it.
