Manifest: Power of Thought (2016)

Manifest: Power of Thought is a social experiment and social commentary documentary about how our thoughts impact our lives. The very word "manifest" has become one of the most popular and possibly most controversial buzzwords and practices of the pop spiritual movement. We ask "Do human beings really have the power to manifest and create change in their lives through their thoughts?" We'll meet and follow 4 compelling characters, each claiming to have radically changed their own lives through mental manifestation. Each person represents a dramatic case study in one of four key relatable areas of life: love, money, health and career. How did they do it and what defines their practice today? As we witness their representative journeys right before our eyes, we also hear from high-profile experts who offer insight to both sides of the controversy. Critical analysis and evocative criticism includes the suggestion that manifesting leads to victim-blaming, delusional thinking and is even dangerous. Critics like American Theoretical Physicist, Lisa Randal and Canadian Scholar John G. Stackhouse Jr bring an edge and credibility to the subject matter. Experts like Tosha Silver (Outrageous Openness) and Dr. Lissa Rankin (mind over Medicine) can speak to how thoughts can transform lives.
