First Night: The Nature of Existence Docu: Roger Nygard
What are the answers to the great questions of life, and who is certain they know the truth others have been struggling to find for centuries?
For The Nature of Existence, Nygard prepared a questionnaire with 85 weighty philosophical questions, ranging from Why do we exist? and Do we have free will? to Who created God? and Is there a moral yardstick that applies to all cultures?
Nygard then set out to interview as many people who might have something to say about his list of imponderables as possible, ranging from biologist and author Richard Dawkins, physicist and String Theory creator Leonard Susskind, and Indian spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to a born-again Christian wrestler, the director of The Empire Strikes Back, a pair of self-proclaimed druids, and a pizza cook.
The result is a witty, thought-provoking, and often surprising study in the greatest mysteries of life.
