When Tom Shadyac - director of Ace Ventura, Bruce All Mighty, Nutty Professor - suffered a life altering fall, he gan to view the world in a different light. A change in perspective prompted him to create a film that explored human nature, spirituality, and the forces that bring us together.

'I Am' is a thought provoking, yet playful documentary that urges us to think beyond the physical realm. In it, Tom sits down with some of the brightest philosophers, scientists, academics, and business professionals around, and gets insight into the latest knowledge on the collective human spirit.

'I Am' is a refreshing look at how sympathy, spiritualism, and positivity can be embraced in the modern world- I highly encourage the curious to put aside 1.25 hours to enjoy the work. It's FREE to watch on Netflix.

From the film:

We're dealing with a fabric of reality in which you can imagine that the threads are not like ordinary pieces of string, they're some kind of non-local stuff that spreads out everywhere in space in time. Which means that everything that we know is resting upon a structure in which everything is actually connected- all the time. So there is no separation, fundamentally.

What's wrong with our world, and what can we do about it? Join filmmaker Tom Shadyac on an unforgettable journey to answer those questions in the documentary I Am, which makes its network debut on "Super Soul Sunday" January 1, 2012, from 8 to 11 a.m. ET/PT.
