Editorial Reviews
The ADVENTISTS is a multi-storied documentary film that explores a church that couples a firm belief in the near Second Coming of Christ with a remarkable focus on health, wholeness and well-being. Born out of the religious fervor of mid-nineteenth century America (portrayed here in historic re-enactments), Adventists today are living longer and seemingly healthier lives, and are the subject of numerous studies to understand why. Broadcast national on public television.

Though I have a few friends of the Adventist faith I was unaware of the specifics of this religion. This film uncovers the origin and modern practices of the Adventists. I was interested most in the emphasis this religion puts on both the spiritual and physical bodies in regards to total wellness. I would recommend this film to friends and family of all faiths looking to learn more about this religion and its impact on living longer, healthier lives.

I had heard about Adventists before, but I had not been familiar with their beliefs and values. Doblmeier's film provides highlights of Adventists' background, while its focus is on the contemporary aspects of their strong involvement in the cutting-edge medicine and promotion of healthy lifestyle.

Martin Doblmeier was the person to film and make this documentary about an obscure religion. I enjoyed the film. I did not give a full five stars because it only focused on diet and exercise. Mr. Doblmeier did very well with this, aspect. I would like to have seen more of the reasons behind for food and exercise and the spiritual part of this religion.
I recommend this film for anybody wanting to know more of Seventh-day Adventists; but also pick up some of the recommended books and web sites for more information. I also have purchased more Adventist information, they have a wonderful health wise message.

Remember, this is the church where David Koresh originated from.
Don't be swayed people. I was an SDA for 35 years. The doctrine of the church goes against the Gospel of Jesus Christ in so many ways, it's not even funny. Read more
