... When You Look Away
The documentary examines the subject of consciousness in terms of quantum physics in close collaboration with scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute. The film’s narrative form gives the audience the opportunity to follow a process where the results are not presented beforehand, and it raises a series of basic scientific questions such as: What if basic causal relationships in the world do not work like we think they do? Should we understand the relationship between our consciousness and the physical world in a whole new way? What is happening at the science frontier, where accepted truths and wild theories collide? Could a new way of understanding our human consciousness come from an entirely unexpected place?
Free the Mind
In 1992 Professor Richard Davidson, one of the world's leading neuroscientists, met the Dalai Lama, who encouraged him to apply the same rigorous methods he used to study depression and anxiety to the study of compassion and kindness, those qualities cultivated by Tibetan meditation practice. The results of Davidson's studies at the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, are portrayed in Free the Mind as they are applied to treating PTSD in returning Iraqi vets and children with ADHD. The film poses two fundamental questions: What really is consciousness, and how does it manifest in the brain and body? And is it possible to physically change the brain solely through mental practices?
