The Principle

The Principle is a 2014 American documentary film produced by Rick Delano and Robert Sungenis questioning the Copernican principle and discussing geocentricism. The film opened in Chicago on October 24, 2014. The film is narrated by Kate Mulgrew and features scientists such as Lawrence M. Krauss and Michio Kaku. Mulgrew and some of the scientists who were interviewed have since repudiated the ideas advanced in the film and have alleged that their involvement was the result of being misled by the filmmaker. The repudiation occurred before the film was released, and without the scientists or Mulgrew having viewed the film.
