Experiencing Interruptions?

The Heart Revolution

Your heart is much more than you think.
Revolutionary scientific findings, portrayed in this film for the first time, paint a fundamentally new picture of the human heart and what it means to be human.

This poetic science documentary takes viewers on a journey through life, from before our first heartbeat to beyond the last, exploring what our heart is all about.

In every chapter of life, from pregnancy to birth, learning to walk and talk, going to school and using our brain, falling in love, becoming parents, to growing old and dying, our heart plays an overlooked yet existential role.

If you still believe your heart is a pump, you're in for a big surprise.

Director Biography - Benedikt SP Just

At age 13, Benedikt became obsessed with finding the secret of life and started reading books on quantum physics to formulate a theory of everything. Realising that no amount of mental knowledge would help him grasp the mystery of life, he fell into a dark night of the soul that nearly cost him his life several times.

As he explored diverse spiritual traditions, his curiosity took him beyond the well-known Eastern and Western fulfilment paradigms. His documentary The Heart Revolution paints a new picture of the human heart and what it means to be human. Using art, Benedikt works on introducing a fundamental redefinition of emotions and the human heart to help birth the Age of Enheartenment.

Director Statement

Scientists delivered strong evidence that the human heart is much more than a pump.

In a time where worldwide celebrated technologists propose that the next step in human evolution is to merge with AI and machines, I think realizing the heart's purpose is an existential necessity.

What if a return to paradise doesn't require more technology but our dedication to cultivating our flowering hearts? Enheartenment, being in a state of a flowering heart, goes far deeper and beyond the traditional state of enlightenment.

If you understand the implications and do the math, you'll see that redefining the human heart will likely increase the quality of life for billions of people worldwide.
