Behind the Curve

Behind the Curve (2018) — watch online on iFILM. Daniel J. Clark's documentary follows the flat earth movement from the inside: conventions, online streams, community drama, and a global network of people convinced the earth is a stationary disc.

Clark does not mock his subjects. He stays long enough to show why the movement has weight for the people inside it — shared identity, a sense of being right while everyone else refuses to look. Physicist Spiros Michalakis and Bill Nye represent the scientific counter. The film ends up being less about the shape of the planet and more about how conviction forms and what it would take to shift it. Watch Behind the Curve (2018) online on iFILM.
