ANOTHER WORLD is a feature documentary about the journey of mankind to discover who we truly are, challenging the modern view of the world and reconsidering the world view and value systems of ancient societies such as the indigenous Americans.
It is a quest through science and consciousness, individual and planetary, exploring our relationships with ourselves, the world around us and the universe as a whole. It demonstrates how connected we really all are, as best expressed in the Mayan greeting In Lak'ech, which means “I am another yourself.” It also demonstrates just how unnatural the sense of separation that characterizes much of modern thought really is as opposed to the understanding of unity and oneness found in many ancient traditions.
Above all it is a transcendental pilgrimage of repossession and empowerment, affirming our place in the universe and asserting mankind as a conscious mankind with real power as individuals and as a collective to create our reality, leaving us with a message that hopefully will not only open our eyes, but hopefully stimulate everyone generating a better and brighter tomorrow for the benefit of present and future generations.
“Another World” (Un altro mondo), is the lattest work from Italian director and producer Thomas Torelli (producer of Zero: An Investigation into 9/11). Early 2014 we had our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign which allowed us to finally finish the film, since then it has been screening in independently organized screenings in Italy and Switzerland and in festivals around the world with great success. Last year the film premiered at the RIFF- Rome Independent Film Festival and at the Phoenix Film Festival. The feature was then invited to the Ischia Film Festival (Italy), Ariano Film Festival (Italy) and the Voices from the Waters International Traveling Film Festival (Bangalore India).

In his own words: “…I can honestly say that making a documentary almost always takes you into an adventure in unknown territory, and Another World was no exception. After spending the last two long and arduous years working on this project, as we approach the finishing line I can say it’s all been worth it. Absolutely everything. It has definitely changed me. And hopefully, I won’t be the only one. With Another World, I hope to give rise to an audience of individuals that become active, conscious agents of life, and not just passive spectators of life.”
