The Mystic Lands series was produced by The Duncan Group in association with Discovery Networks (TLC). The series premiered in more than 100 countries around the world in the late '90s. The Mystic Lands Collector's Edition is now available for the first time as a DVD COLLECTOR'S EDITION. This 3-disc set includes several new bonus features such as a series introduction, an interview with the series director, and an interview with the series composer, Chris Spheeris.

In some cases, Mystic Lands provides insights into lesser-known spiritual places such as Buddhist sites in Bhutan, the Anasazi ruins of North America, or remote sections of Burma and Haiti. The series also delves into many spiritual practices that are not considered part of the religious mainstream including Vodou, Nat Worship, and the spiritual practices of the Aboriginal people of Australia and the Andes.
