“Journey of the Universe” explores the origins of the universe, the emergence of life, and the rise of human consciousness. The film weaves together the findings of modern science with cultural traditions of the West, China, Africa, India, and indigenous peoples to explore cosmic evolution as a process of creativity, connection and interdependence. Thomas E. Lovejoy, Ph.D., Professor, Scientist and Founder of the PBS series Nature recommends, “This is one of the most remarkable films I have ever seen.”
