Here's some more information about the movie ~
ReplyDelete"The Nature of Existence" asks why do we exist? What is God? What is morality? What is spirituality? What is the difference between prayer and meditation? And more…
Noted filmmaker, documentarian and producer/director Roger Nygard ("Trekkies 1" and "2", "Six Days in Roswell") traveled the globe for four years, exploring the world’s philosophies, religions and belief systems, shooting more than 450 hours of footage.
Nygard is well-known for allowing the audience to discover the humor of real life, so it comes as no surprise that this globe-trekking, spiritual adventure elicits plenty of laughs as well as intellectual challenge, thought-provoking observations and interpretations … even moments quite touching.
Says Nygard, “I made a list of the eighty-five toughest questions I could think of, starting with biggest one, ‘Why do we exist?’ and then I began interrogating the widest cross-section of humanity possible, such as: Indian holy man Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (The Art of Living), evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), 24th generation Chinese Taoist Master Zhang Chengda, Stanford physicist Leonard Susskind (co-discoverer of string theory), wrestler Rob Adonis (founder of Ultimate Christian Wrestling), confrontational evangelist Brother Jed Smock, novelist Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game), director Irvin Kershner (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back), Stonehenge Druids Rollo Maughfling & King Arthur Pendragon and many more… How would YOU answer?”
Theresa, thanks for the update. This looks like a great overview, and makes me want to see the movie even more.
