Just as the Earth's spin causes day and night and its annual orbit around the Sun is responsible for the ongoing cycle of the seasons, what if there is some greater celestial cycle, lasting thousands of years, slowly influencing the rise and fall of civilization across the globe? What could be the cause?



To many ancient cultures time moved in a cyclical pattern, with human consciousness rising and falling as great ages came and went, some tying this cosmic cycle to our Sun's motion around a companion star. The Great Year examines the common thread in these beliefs and seeks answers to the questions they raise.



This provocative film, narrated by James Earl Jones, is accompanied by 18 minutes of animation and a moving original score. The message behind the film may be the beginning of a whole new way to look at history, and just might set off a new scientific movement to find our Sun's binary companion.
