This documentary takes a look at these leaders and followers, and the schisms within the movement as the members meet at the Flat Earth International Conference. Thanks to the Internet, the Flat Earth Movement, led by a handful of adherents armed with podcasts, YouTube channels, and a propensity for ranting, has seen an increase in membership in recent years. And all of reality itself becomes perpetually undeterminable in a sea of mass psychosis.īEHIND THE CURVE takes a look at "Flat Earthers," or those who believe that the Earth is a flat disc surrounded by a wall of ice. So much so that even our pain is not acknowledged as real. What I fear most is if in such an event we willingly and enthusiastically deny the circumstances. But rather the gradual disintegration of our ability to reason and interpret reality.Ī great fear of mine is not so much society facing an apocalyptic scenario. Maybe it is not climate change, raging pandemics, antibiotic resistant superbugs, or global thermonuclear war that humanity must ultimately fear. Then what direction is society truly heading in? If only.īehind the Curve presents a warning to the future, if scientific illiteracy has got to the point where the idea that the Earth is actually a frisbee is growing in traction. Upon seeing such display of flagrant anti-scientific anti-intellectualism, in one scene demonstrating these delusions can be passed down by generations, it is a wonder why the alleged all powerful "scientific elite" haven't stamped out this kind of anti-thought for good. Nonsensical illogical delusions are gaining mainstream legitimacy and penetration into the collective social consciousness.

This documentary brings to light the (hopefully not actually) coming apocalypse of pseudoscience.
