In 2012, Rey Hernandez was a former IRS tax attorney living an ordinary life when an extraordinary experience involving his paralyzed dog changed the course of his life.

What followed was a years-long journey into phenomena that challenged everything he thought he knew about consciousness and reality.

Rey began experiencing and investigating a range of extraordinary phenomena, including encounters with UFOs and apparent non-human intelligence, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, remote viewing, channeling, apparitions and other anomalous experiences. Among his reported encounters was a remarkable 45-minute experience involving a craft he estimated to be approximately the size of a football field.

Rather than viewing these experiences as isolated mysteries, Rey began asking whether they might be connected.

A Greater Reality brings together more than 20 PhD academics and medical professionals and more than 50 experiencers to examine the boundaries between consciousness, science and extraordinary human experience.

At the center of the film is a provocative proposition: consciousness may not simply be an emergent product of the physical brain, but something fundamental to reality.

If consciousness is fundamental, could phenomena such as near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, remote viewing and UFO encounters represent different expressions of an underlying phenomenon?

The film does not ask audiences to accept extraordinary claims on faith. Instead, it invites viewers to investigate the experiences, question conventional assumptions and consider whether our current model of reality may be incomplete.

At its heart, A Greater Reality is about one of humanity's most enduring questions:

What are we—and what is the true nature of reality?
