“Life After Life” became one of the 10 special programs of the Radio / Breaking two records in the history of television in “Life After Life”

Fars News Agency – Radio and Television Group: Abbas Mozoon is the producer, writer, researcher and host of “Life After Life” program; Despite the fact that only three years have passed since the airing of its first season and in the same short period of three years, it has become one of the most watched programs produced by the Radio and Television and has attracted a large audience.

The basic idea behind the “life after life” is to look at the work of Dr. Raymond Modi, an American psychiatrist who formulated and addressed the issue of post-mortem experiences years ago. He says that about 25 years ago, he became interested in making a program on the subject of near-death experience and started researching in this field. He also held the first conference on near-death experiences in January 2016 in Yazd. The following text is the first part of Fars News Agency’s conversation with Abbas Mozoon.

Abbas Mozoon, in an interview with a Fars News Agency radio and television reporter, in connection with the great response of the TV audience to the third season of “Life After Life”, compared to the previous seasons of this program, said: Contrary to popular belief, the season The third season of “Life After Life” was the most watched season of the program, but the statistics of the Radio and Television Research Center show that the second season of “Life After Life” was the most watched program – both theatrical and non-theatrical – among all productions of the Radio and Television last year. . But the fact that “Life After Life” became more popular this year is due to political attacks that increased media attention to the program, while the audience’s attention was drawn to the program last year. Currently, with the decision of the directors of the Radio and Television Organization, this program was included in the 10 special programs of the Radio and Television, and the third chapter of “Life After Life” was prepared and produced under the supervision of the Deputy of the Radio and Television.

Regarding the level of viewing and satisfaction of this program with the national media audience, Mozoon continued: The second season of “Life after Life” has surpassed two records in the history of Iranian television. The first record is related to the percentage of audience satisfaction, which has attracted 1.93% of the audience. The second record is related to the growth of a program in two consecutive seasons among the programs in the history of radio and television. Also, in the statistics of watching the popular TV program on TV, the second season of “Life after Life” is in a higher position than other radio programs. So, in fact, more media attention and conflict of opinion among properties can be mentioned as the main factors in increasing attention to the third chapter of “life after life”. Otherwise, the audience has paid attention to this program before the properties and media.

He added: “Perhaps even due to unscientific political approaches or attention to the properties of science and philosophy and politics to” life after life “, part of the satisfaction of this program was reduced. As a result, the satisfaction of the third season has decreased by 3% compared to the second season. Although this year’s statistics were taken in the middle of Ramadan, while last year’s statistics were taken at the end of Ramadan. These issues are not related to my strength nor the ability of the program production team, in my opinion, is related to the fact that the Iranian people are interested in the ideological, scientific and documentary genre. Under the pretext of attracting the audience, programs with the nature of entertainment, hobby, fiction and drama should not be made. They are good and necessary in their own right, but not enough. People are still interested in real, scientific and ideological-research content, and this shows the goodness of the Iranian people.

At the beginning, because there was no information in this field and there was no access to the Internet, I went through the library of Astan Quds Razavi to topics and concepts such as parapsychology, psychology and similar topics. Ever since I got access to the internet, I have been getting information more centrally. Field research on this project began about seven years ago. At the same time, the program’s channel was established in cyberspace under the title “Life After Life”. This channel was the first Persian language channel in the world in this field. Also, the first conference in this field started at Yazd University at the same time and 15 conferences were held all over the country during the period of 3-4 years. He said: “Hundreds of people participated in the construction of the program in layers throughout the cities of Iran.” Currently, there are about 30 people in the studio working on the program. The program editing and graphics team is 11 people in total. In city-related filming, sometimes two parallel teams work together. This was while the production of the first season of the program was going on with two people – my servant and my wife – and a cameraman. Like the situation we experienced in the Indian documentary Friends.
