Most of the material in the film has already been explored elsewhere but what I found especially disappointing was that it was mainly presented through the experiences of North American Christians. Dr. Moody actually touched on the experiences of believers of other faiths in his 1975 book but, for some reason, it did not come up in his interview. As a person from a devout Catholic background, I would have appreciated hearing of the NDE of people of other faiths, in particular Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims who make up almost half of the world's believers. They most certainly would not have met Jesus, as a number of the interviewees in the movie have claimed they did, and it would have been interesting to hear how they described the "Being of Light" encountered in their NDE. Since it appears that all of us live on after physical death and good deeds and love of others are an important part of our purpose in our present existence, then people of other faiths would be eligible for admission to the "heaven" described in many NDE's. Perhaps the makers of the film should consider a more inclusive sequel that would be of interest to more people than this one presumably was.
