Driven by paranoia, this is just one of many conspiracies they immerse themselves in.ĭespite zero scientific evidence to support their claim (I know I don’t really need to tell you that, but just in case a flat earther is reading this it is nonetheless important to point out), the movement has been attracting some rather wealthy benefactors of late. The documentary provides great insight into the minds of those who passionately believe that the earth is flat. CBS even sent a film crew to the first ever international (I’ve resisted the urge to use ‘global’) flat earth conference. It’s not just confined to user generated content either mainstream news organisations are also covering the movement. What’s more, many have achieved well over a million views. Do a quick search on YouTube and you’ll see thousands of videos on the subject. The film follows a number of leading voices in the US flat earth movement - a hypothesis that has become increasingly popular over the past few years. A few days ago, I watched a fascinating documentary on Netflix called Behind the Curve.
