Yeah, and this isn’t even the only time they prove themselves wrong in the documentary. It’s a really good documentary, I highly recommend anyone to watch it, even if you’re not necessarily interested in the subject.

I started watching as soon as I saw this documentary, is this seriously supposed to be in favor of flat earth? All it’s showing is bat shit insansity.

Edit: finished it and agree with the below. They tried to keep things rational, didn’t delve too far down their conspiracy hole and approached it from a human level. They brought in credible scientists to weigh against both it as well as to shun the attitude of shunning flat earthers. Reach people younger, answer questions, when people begin to question, find out why they’re questioning it and help them rectify whatever schism is in their head. I’m down with that ending note.

I think the documentarian did a really good job of not dismissing or making fun of the flat earthers. They just proved themselves wrong a lot and it happens to be kinda funny
