CIIS Alumni Film Screening + Q&A: Who Do You Think You Are?

CIIS Alumni Relations cordially invites you to a free film screening of Who Do You Think You Are? a documentary by CIIS alums Alan Baiss (ICP '91) and Dr. Joseh Garcia (EWP '04 & '10).

The film explores today’s global crises and our disconnection from our deepest level of self. This film distinguishes itself by addressing social issues within the context of the spiritual notion that everything changes when we know deeply who we are. Through the wisdom of psychologists, spiritual thinkers, and people who have undergone deep personal transformation — including Neale Donald Walsch (author of Conversations with God) and Patch Adams, MD (physician, clown, and activist) — the film invites reflection on what the current world crises are asking of us. Stunning visuals and an original soundtrack enrich this very timely film. Recent screenings include film festivals, transpersonal psychology conferences, ashrams, monasteries, and higher educational institutions in India, Vietnam, USA, Portugal, Mexico, and Canada and the film has been nominated for Best Feature Documentary at the Montreal Independent Film Festival 2025.

This event is a live, in-person event only. Light food and beverages will be provided.

The filmmakers will be present for an engaging Q&A after the screening.
