Panel: The Changing of the Gods
The film’s directors and two of the key creative voices from the series share how they embarked on this remarkable project, the synchronicities that surprised them along the way, and how the cosmological “rosetta’s stone” revealed in the film impacts us both personally and collectively. We learn how we can best partner with the planets moving forward to ensure that “the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice.”
We're sorry — this panel is not available for replay.
