Summary:

Presents a comprehensive documentary complete with interviews with experts, stock footage, still photographs and animation, to prove that the earth is flat, while dismissing the "global earth" doctrine as little more than an elaborate hoax. An essential lesson in media literacy for a generation plugged into television, provoking criticial thinking skills and an awareness of devices used in documentary media, including a willingness to take things at face value.
