Unity

Directed by: Shaun Monson | Written by: Shaun Monson

Writer-director Shaun Monson recruited 100 narrators to help make a documentary about the spiritual destiny of humankind. Assembled from hundreds of video clips and still images from dozens of different sources, Monson’s second feature-length film approximates an actual documentary, but incorporates scant original material. Monson divides the film into chapters like "Cosmic," "Body," and "Heart" to lend his clip compilation some structure. These labels are intended to approximate humanity’s potential spiritual progress along an arc from ignorance to enlightenment.
