The Rosicrucians is an extensively researched historical film based
on rare manuscripts found at Rosicrucian headquarters in California
and France. This video describes the intriguing story of this
enigmatic Order, from its distant past to the exciting present.
Learn how Rosicrucian ideas about education, democracy, free
inquiry, human rights, and expansion of consciousness have
exercised vital imprints on today's society. The narrative also
includes quotations from important contributors to civilization
throughout the centuries - philosophers, scientists, scholars,
writers, artist - all of whom have been associated with the
Rosicrucians.


From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucians :

The term Rosicrucian (symbol: the Rose Cross) describes a secret
society of mystics, allegedly formed in late mediaeval Germany,
holding a doctrine "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past",
which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature,
the physical universe and the spiritual realm. "

  extras



So here are the three extras that were on the disc, which are included:

-"Welcome from Grand Master Julie Scott." [Just a 2-minute clip saying 'hi,
 thanks for getting the DVD']

-"A brief history of the Rosicrucian Order in North America." [this was just
  a page-long length of scrolling text, so I transcribed it to a txt file]*
 
-"A scenic musical tour of beautiful Rosicrucian Park in San Jose, California."

It's also produced by the AMORC themselves, so it's hardly an 'objective'
documentary, but fun to see how the Rosicrucians portray themselves ;).
