I found this documentary to be really interesting and eye-opening!
It's genuinely astounding how believers in a flat Earth form their belief system with no evidence whatsoever to support their theories.
The makers of the documentary try really hard to allow the flat Earth believers to make their case. There is zero interference or mockery levelled at them. And still the outcome comes off as a mockumentary that is hilarious to watch.
The flat Earth believers undertake several experiments that clearly prove the globe Earth, only to deny their own results and hide them from their indoctrinated followers.
The psychology behind the flat Earth condition is what fascinated me the most. Clearly these people realise that they can feel important while they peddle their conspiracy. Loudly claiming that all non-believers are too blind and too brainwashed to see the truth. But in reality the stars of this documentary are the creators of the real conspiracy because it makes them feel like big fish in a small pond.
I watched Mark Sargent (Portrayed as the leader in this documentary) appear on 'This morning' (UK TV Show) to discuss his flat Earth theories some more. He tried desperately to baffle with a speedy delivery of some of the most nonsensical garbage I have heard in my life. Discrediting reputable scientists and astronauts in the process. I am not even sure that he realised the presenters were mocking him by the end.
I got the feeling that after the making of 'Behind the Curve' the power went to his head a little. He seems to have fallen from leadership since then, but the believers are still out there following a different fish!
I loved it! 8/10
In a way it is quite scary!
