About this Event

Columbia Maryland Film Festival Presents a special screening of the documentary "Back From The Light - Aftereffects Of Surviving A Near Death Experience"



Come join us on Fri, Apr 25, 2025 at 6:00 PM at the Maryland Innovation Center (MIC) in Columbia, MD, USA.

BACK FROM THE LIGHT is a documentary film, Co-Produced by Yvonne Sneeden and Robert Neal Marshall, Directed & Edited by Robert Neal Marshall that explores the difficult phenomenon of aftereffects that occur to individuals who have had a Near Death Experience. These aftereffects have a life long impact on not only the experiencer, but for loved ones, family and friends. What would you do if a loved one died...then came back to talk about it?
No matter an individual’s beliefs, it has been proven that lives are often in upheaval with family and friends trying to understand the profound changes that have occurred to their loved ones. Changes in personality, emotions, relationships, priorities, faith, career, and more have been documented. Experiencers often cope with deep depression, afraid to talk about their NDE, fearful of ostracism and ridicule. They suffer extreme feelings of loss; longing for the incredible joy and love felt while “gone.”

Back From The Light interviews dozens of people, including New York Times #1 Bestselling author Dr. Mary Neal, author Dave Bennett, and author/researcher PMH Atwater, LHD, who have had a direct personal experience, or as family members and friends of an Experiencer. Also included are candid insights from medical and mental health care professionals who have dealt with Near Death Experiences and research as part of their regular practice.

The goal of Back From The Light is to help and educate those who may need to know more about surviving and coping after a Near Death Experience, to let them know that they are not alone, and to provide personal insights into this phenomenon that is slowly gaining worldwide recognition.


"Truly amazing, a very inspirational movie. It not only depicts the lives of people who were transformed by the light, but is deeply transformational to the viewer." - Dr. Rajiv Parti, MD, author of best selling book 'Dying to Wake Up.'

Following the screening, join Robert for an live Audience Q&A where he will share more about his journey and answer questions.

Clinically dead for almost two minutes, Robert was miraculously resuscitated, and what followed was nothing short of life-changing. He is often asked, "Did you see the light?" but his experience was far more profound than a simple vision. It became a question of survival after his brief moments on the ultimate journey.



Upcoming Personal Presentation

In a separate talk on May 9th, 2025 at 6PM Robert will also offer a live conversation and presentation about his own Near Death Experience, taking you through the intense, ongoing journey that has transformed every aspect of his life—his emotions, priorities, and most importantly, his understanding of a life purpose. Ticket Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/after-effects-of-surviving-a-near-death-experience-back-from-the-light-tickets-1259903478219

Robert explores In Person the profound questions that arise from such a harrowing experience: "Why am I still here? What is my purpose? How do I navigate in this world?"

No matter your personal beliefs, this evening will challenge and inspire you to think deeply about life, death, and the transformative power of near-death experiences. Robert will provide unique insights into a phenomenon that is slowly gaining worldwide recognition, shedding light on the profound changes it brings to those who survive it.

Come prepared for a journey that will leave you questioning what truly matters and how to embrace life with a newfound perspective. This is not just a story of survival—it's a story of awakening.


"Your lectures were engaging , well put together with great presentation style. The lecture titled 'Back From the Light' was very well received from guests, inspiring many with your experiences and honesty throughout." - Sharon Havers l Entertainment Booking Consultant, Cunard (Queen Mary 2)
