The Nature of Existence

Description

After exploring the phenomenon of Trekkies, filmmaker Roger Nygard took on The Nature Of Existence itself. Nygard brainstormed the toughest questions he could think of, about the meaning of life and then traveled the world in searching each of theworld's philosophies, religions, and belief systems - interviewing spiritual leaders, scholars, scientists, artists, pizza chefs, and others who have influenced, inspired, or freaked out humanity. Nygard's travels highlight the words of such luminary figures as Indian holy man Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (The Art of Living), evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), 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), and Stonehenge Druids Rollo Maughfling & King Arthur Pendragon and many more...
