I saw "Welcome Space Brothers" last night at the LA Music Festival at the historic Los Angeles theater downtown and it was absolutely packed with curious moviegoers like myself as well as a few dozen "Space Brothers" in costume. The Director Jodi Wille spent about a decade investigating, interviewing and getting to know an eclectic group of modern science followers at a school in Southern California. Without giving any spoilers here (I purposely did not want to know too much before watching the film and promised to keep an open mind), as some of these types of groups, some people often have the perception that they are part of a cult or fanatics. In my opinion, that was not the case at all. In fact, it was a group of people committed to learning, empowering themselves, being the best versions of themselves they can be in this lifetime, as well as living in peace, love and harmony, nothing wrong with that, and after the screening I attended, there were a few of the former students from this group that I enjoyed speaking with. This positive, inspiring documentary shares a valuable lesson that life is very short, that we can all learn more about our inner self and should always strive to be the best, happiest versions of ourselves we can be!
