    Storyline

    Edit
    Mason is a modern day 'sungazer' and subject of Peter Sorcher's award-winning and suspenseful documentary film that follows Mason on an unbelievable and often hilarious cross-country tour into the little known world of sungazing - an ancient practice of looking directly at the sun for a range of physical and spiritual benefits. Throughout his journey, Mason is riddled with uncertainty. Will he damage his eyes? Is the man who inspires thousands lying? Will Mason succeed in his quest to uncover the truth? This captivating documentary will challenge your deepest held beliefs. —Diana Parker

    This film is both entertaining and educational.
    Our world is becoming smaller as our cultures around the globe come into contact with one another, and especially as our information technology unearths aspects of some ancient cultures hitherto unknown. This documentary is a very entertaining and informative expose on just how this is taking place surrounding the little known practice of sun-gazing. Are some of these ancient practices of secretive sects able to somehow be integrated into mainstream society in a modern world? This documentary shows several cases where such attempts are being made and how it impacts their everyday lives. If you love observing people and understanding their wide varieties in how they approach life, this film is one that for sure will give you a good sampling of our emerging modern humanity that is revisiting our ancient roots at the same time.
