Filmmaker Roger Nygard will participate in a Q&A and discussion following this screening from his home in Los Angeles, via Skype!
The Nature of Existence is an exceptional documentary four years in the making. "I made a list of the 85 toughest questions I could think of, starting with biggest one, 'why do we exist?' and then I began interrogating the widest cross-section of humanity possible."
Some of the questions Nygard asked we re:
- What is man’s purpose?
- What started th Universe?
- Where was God during the Holocaust?
- What is Truth?
- Should people have sex before marriage?
- What is the best way to find happiness?
- Where is the afterlife?
- Where are the voices in my head coming from?
People he interviewed included a Hindu religious leader, a Catholic archbishop, an Islamic scholar, Richard Dawkins, Leonard Susskind, Orson Scott Card, the founder of Ultimate Christian Wrestling, and the director of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. How would YOU answer?
Roger Nygard is an editor/director whose previous work includes the documentary Trekkies, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, and The Bernie Mac Show.
