The Grand Self: Dissolving the Illusion of Separation is inviting audiences around the world to experience a feature-length documentary centered on one fundamental question: Who are we beneath the beliefs, conditioning, and identities we have accumulated throughout our lives?
The film follows a personal journey of self-discovery while incorporating perspectives from a diverse international collection of experts and featured speakers. Through interviews, personal stories, and reflections, The Grand Self explores themes surrounding human potential, consciousness, identity, limiting beliefs, connection, and the possibility of seeing oneself from a different perspective.
The filmmakers describe the documentary as an exploration of the idea that limiting beliefs can shape how people perceive themselves and the world around them. At the heart of the film is an invitation to examine those beliefs and reconnect with what the filmmakers call the “Grand Self.”
With a runtime of 121 minutes, the film combines documentary storytelling with an international collection of voices from fields including consciousness studies, personal development, spirituality, wellness, meditation, energy-based practices, and human potential.
The documentary was filmed across multiple countries, including the United States, Canada, India, Mexico, and Switzerland, giving the production an international scope and bringing together a wide range of perspectives and traditions.
Audiences can currently watch The Grand Self free online through the film’s official website.
