Flat Earth Society

HOT DOCS 2018 REVIEWS: Daniel J. Clark's BEHIND THE CURVE takes an empathetic and civil look at the people inhabiting the Flat Earth Society

What stands out in the film is just how much the flat earthers simply need to believe what they believe. It’s kind of like refusing to believe that OJ was guilty or maybe even letting go of the Santa Claus myth. The characters in the film are all too familiar. They’ve chosen to attach their identity to this belief system, and it means everything.
