After 10 years of a life of spiritual leader, Jessica Schab, a.k.a. Jessica Mystic, chose to abandon her Crystal Child mission and began a long journey of mind deconditioning from the esoteric ideas that had ruled her life for so long.
 
Her outstanding story brings me back to my own journey, a far more ordinary one.
 
Together, we explore the intricacies of New Age beliefs and their load of pseudo-science, fake news, conspiracy theories, and ‘spiritual’ practices of all kinds.

This documentary takes us into the mysteries of gullibility, fantasy and self-deception, and makes us question why we give them so much power over our thinking. Through an unusual story, we discover how well-meaning beliefs so often lead to unsuspected dramatic consequences.
It challenges us to be more sceptical and to detect the numerous psychological pitfalls we don't think we are susceptible to.
