Notice: The Hart House Library will be closed this Sunday, July 18 2010, for a very exciting purpose.
The National Geographic Channel's Explorer Series has chosen Hart House Library as part of the film locale for a documentary based upon John Geiger's book The Third Man Factor! Interestingly, the Explorer Series is the longest-running documentary series in cable television history.
Explorer is taking a close-up look at the extraordinary phenomenon highlighted in the book, investigating the science behind reported experiences from people at the very edge of death (often adventurers or explorers) who experience a presence beside them who encourages them to make one final effort to survive. This film is truly about the science behind this phenomenon -- including top neuroscience being done in the US, Canada and Switzerland. Bestselling author John Geiger is a Senior Fellow at Massey College and his interview in the documentary will be set against the backdrop of our very own library.
Much to our excitement, National Geographic will also be dedicating a "Special Thanks" to Hart House at the end of the Third Man Factor documentary. It will be broadcast in Spring 2011 on the National Geographic Channel, which reaches 320 million households in 34 languages in 166 countries.
Stay tuned to the blog as Hart House Library will likely host a special screening of this programme in the Spring.
