LEVEL - A FLAT EARTH DOCUMENTARY

Owen Benjamin plays an epic gravy-laced mixed of piano music over archtypical historical disinformation.

Take a moment to watch FA's new short film trailer, 'LEVELS'; coming soon!

In preparation for his discussion with David Weiss (Deep Inside The Rabbit Hole) Owen Benjamin acknowledges people interested in Flat Earth Theory as intelligent and not stupid. 

Antarctic Insider taps FE FW to discuss his experience. A thin line between compelling and formulaic TV. Decide for yourself!

On April 10th, 2017 Nidhal Guessoum weighs in with his scathing Op-Ed on GolfNews.com, in article Guessoum also mentions that in 2001 he gave lectures against the idea that the moon landing was fake entitled, "“Did Nasa fake the moon landing... or are we miserably failing to educate the public?” ] https://gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/phd-thesis-the-earth-is-flat-1.2009202

[Also on April 11th, 2017 a user named MacroBR444 Post's onn Chess.com, simply just to link the two above mentioned press releases  from www.6ansa.it and www.ansamed.info with the op-ed by Nidhal Guessom on GolfNews.com, yet this post now leads to MISSING PAGE, however the URL still indicates something of its subject matter] https://www.chess.com/hu/forum/view/off-topic/earth-is-flat-prove-me-wrong?page=36

{NOTE: It is curious that this post was put on "Chess.com" and that the two "press releases" (6ansa.it & ansamed.info) had the word ANSA in their URL, which is "coincidentally" an anagram for NASA, and the Chess.com post linked to NIdhal Goussom's article, whom was a Post Doc Researcher at Goddard Space Center and an Advocate for the Validity of the Moon Landing since back in 2001}

With over 17 Million views on YouTube SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Test Launch appears to be a complete success. However, at the critical point to watch the Falcon ascend into Low Earth Orbit the feed cuts out, and we're left with an awkward moment with the telecasters not dissimilar to the "cut feed" that happened on a previous SpaceX rocket landing, and after the announcers vaguely expressed some opinions about technical functions, the screen cuts back to a photoshopped image of a car in space! Well done Elon, well done.
