Authors of the Impossible

In Authors of the Impossible, a documentary film examining the paranormal and popular culture, historian of comparative religion Jeffrey J. Kripal teams up with XL Films to trace the history of psychical phenomena through the last two centuries of Western thought, illustrating in the process how psychical and paranormal events once considered mystical, spiritual, or occult are manifesting in our own modern, scientific culture. The film makes the bold assertions that many of the anomalous events denied and discarded by today's rationalistic mindset are, in fact, true, and that our present dismissals of these universally experienced realities reveal a broad cultural naiveté regarding our own consciousness and being.
