MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 25, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- December 21st, 2012 is the predicted doomsday for planet Earth according to a widely held belief based on Mayan prophecies. What is fact? What is fiction? Cloud Ten Pictures' newest documentary 2012: PROPHECY OR PANIC? will answer these and other pressing questions about the daunting and much-hyped 2012 phenomenon.

"We really are on a collision course toward destiny," says God's News Behind the News host, Dr. Joe VanKoevering. "It's causing people to stop and think: wow the end really could come in my lifetime," Hosted by Jeff Douglas (JOHN Q, JETT JACKSON) and filmed on location in Mexico amidst key Mayan Ruins, 2012: PROPHECY OR PANIC? takes an in-depth look at the validity of various end-of-the-world predictions.

"This phenomenon of 2012 is certainly one of the most sensational topics we've ever tackled. But at the same time it's probably the most relevant. Some are speculating that the rapture could happen in 2012. The future is coming and we better be prepared for it," notes writer and director, André van Heerden.

Featuring interviews with leading experts and best-selling authors like Mark Hitchcock, Grant Jeffrey, Dr. Carl Johan Calleman, Gary Kah, Dr. Joe VanKoevering, Jack Kinsella, Dr. Chuck Missler, Philip Coppens, and many more, 2012 will not only explore end-times prophecies across cultures, but will also provide hope for those struggling with the predicament of a seemingly uncertain future.

"The Biblical tribulation period presents all kinds of cataclysms, all kinds of signs in the sun and the moon and in the stars," explains Omega Letter author Jack Kinsella. "And it's all perfectly consistent with all these secular predictions."

Whether viewers believe in the Mayan predictions or not, 2012: PROPHECY OR PANIC? is a must see for anyone who has ever wondered about what the future holds. This explosive documentary tackles hot button issues surrounding the future of our planet, and will certainly be one of the most talked about contributions to the subject of the 2012 phenomenon.

"People believe that something significant is going to happen on this date. And it's like all self-fulfilling prophecies - something significant WILL happen on this date," says William Gladstone, Author of The Twelve, in 2012: PROPHECY OR PANIC?
