A Glitch in the Matrix (2021)
What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, director Rodney Asher uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory.

    Storyline

    Edit
    Are we in fact living in a simulation? This is the question postulated, wrestled with, and ultimately argued for in the latest provocation from acclaimed documentary stylist Rodney Ascher (Room 237, The Nightmare) through archival footage, compelling interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a collection of cases from some of our most iconoclastic figures in contemporary culture.

    Turned it off after 5 mins
    I was looking forward to so some actual theoretical science, but the first 5 minutes where accounts of people seeing oddities in there lives, such as a women in a red hat, or a restaurant sign with a fish in it.
