Ski Bum: The Warren Miller Story chronicles the life and times of the legendary filmmaker who, through his annual ski films and national tours which began in the early 1950's, was a driving force in the development and promotion of the ski industry in America and throughout the world. Miller, who died last year at 93, sat months before his passing for his final interview.

Séculos atrás, muitas culturas acreditavam que a Terra era um disco plano. À medida que o pensamento científico e a tecnologia evoluíram, a Terra revelou-se um globo, uma visão amplamente aceita hoje - mas não por todos. O movimento da Terra plana tem visto um recente ressurgimento. Esses teóricos da conspiração negam o modelo científico do globo e se juntam através de convenções, fóruns e plataformas online para discutir seu sistema de crenças. No outro extremo do espectro, a comunidade científica visa combater esse mito ressuscitado, resultando em uma batalha pública cada vez maior de conspirações e anti-intelectualismo. Dando uma olhada completa em todos os lados do debate, Behind the Curve mostra que não importa onde você esteja sobre esta questão, as conversas e as pessoas ao redor são tudo, menos planas.
