The BELIZE FILM COMMISSION and NICH are excited to announce the premiere of GATES OF HELL on the History Channel, Tuesday, August 17, at 8 pm.

Red Marble Media filmed in Belize earlier this year for a commissioned two-hour History Channel special originally called "Portals to the Underworld." The documentary charts historical thoughts and beliefs about the afterlife from the ancient Maya to modern Christianity. Producers traveled to places that were once believed to be sacred portals to spiritual realms of which Belize was one and used interviews with experts and artistic depictions of the Underworld from throughout the ages for the project.

According to Courtney Engelstein, Development Producer of Red Marble Media, "The show looks fantastic, and the segment in Belize is beautiful, compelling, and creepy."

History International Channel had a show on Belize's Mayan Ruins yesterday. Always so nice to see Belize on TV.
