"Consciousness creates reality"-- what does that really mean? Well, quantum physics would have us all believe that we are in complete control of our lives and the future of humankind through our thought processes. We create our own realities, fixations, and addictions. This film truly opens ones eyes to human potential. Is the world we live in merely a reflection of humankind's innermost desires and conceptual frameworks? Much like Shangri La, a lost place in the heart of the world that only the most spiritual of monks can see, perhaps there is much on our planet that we are not yet capable or willing to see. What the Bleep Do We Know? challenges our current view of the planet, and asks us to change our world view. The film calls for a paradigm shift of consciousness, whereby we all become aware of our true potentials as beings of this planet. The film is both scientific and spiritual, challenging the notion that the two must remain separate entities.

One of the Most Moving Documentaries I Have Ever Seen...
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
I had no idea what I was in for when I began to watch this film. I knew very little about it, except that my husband thought it looked interesting and it received 5 stars on Netflix. As the story unfolded, I found myself emotionally tied to the story like no other story I have ever watched. It begins as a story to a baby about his murdered father. The film tells the story of Andrew Bagby through old film clips and interviews with friends and family. But, there's a twist... and the more you watch the film, the more frustrated you may find yourself. Distraught, really. It's almost difficult to even write about. Throughout the journey, you are introduced to Andrew's amazing parents. Their walk is one I wouldn't wish on anyone, and yet they face it with grace at every step. If we don't watch this film in class (mainly because it is so emotional), I strongly recommend you watch it on your own. You will not be sorry, though your entire world view may be different.
