Taking The Curve is a documentary film that explores the beliefs and experiences of individuals who subscribe to the Flat Earth theory – an idea that the Earth is a flat disc with the North Pole at the center and Antarctica forming a rim around the edge. The film introduces several Flat Earth believers who share their reasons for rejecting the idea of a round planet and instead favor a flat Earth model.
The documentary delves into the historical roots of the Flat Earth theory and how it was widely believed until evidence to the contrary was discovered in the 3rd century BC by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras. The film shows how the Flat Earth movement has seen a resurgence in recent years, fueled by the power of online connectivity and social media.
Throughout the film, various Flat Earth believers are interviewed and share their personal stories and experiences of being part of the Flat Earth community. They explain how they came to reject the conventional scientific model of Earth and how they arrived at their own conclusions. The film also explores the challenges the Flat Earth community faces, such as societal stigma and criticism from skeptics.
Taking The Curve ultimately invites viewers to question their own beliefs about the shape of the planet and consider alternative perspectives. The film offers a unique insight into a community that is widely ridiculed and misunderstood and seeks to provide a platform for honest and open conversations about controversial topics.
