Aware: Glimpses of Consciousness
A heady experience – dare I say spiritual? – that stirs feelings of awe and wonder, humility and connection. A remarkable film.
-- Valerie Kalfrin, Alliance of Women Film Journalists
Aware: Glimpses of Consciousness
AWARE follows six brilliant researchers around the world who set out to discover the true meaning of consciousness, the world’s greatest unsolved mystery. Through radically different approaches, the cast of researchers takes the audience into a fascinating world of high-tech brain research, eastern meditation, psychedelics, consciousness of plants experiments, and eventually beyond the explicable.
