What is Consciousness?
A film by George Thompson
For years, I’ve been fascinated by one of the biggest questions of all:

To explore this mystery, I spent 30 days alone in the Scottish wilderness — no distractions, just a camera, nature, and my own mind. The result is a journey into the heart of what makes us human.
