Englische Synopsis: Is it possible that some people can read your mind (Telepathy)? ;or look into the future (Clairvoyancy)? How come some people can cure themselves while in the last stages of a deadly cancer? (Healing). Does mind over matter really exist, and if so, how do we explain this? (Telekinesis). In the US millions of people claim to ‘see’ distant objects or places (Remote Viewing); are they fooling us, or do they really see something? Do we have quantum-brains? And where is the boundary between 'real' magical powers and fraud? Can these ‘miracles of the mind’ be explained? Answers These and more questions will be answered in the documentary “Something Unknown Is Doing We Don’t Know What” (100 min.). This is a road movie, where filmmaker Renée Scheltema sets out to the US to meet prominent scientists with solid credentials who are doing research in this field, to see if there is any scientific evidence of psychic phenomena(‘psi’). Along the way, she meets a lot of psychics, and collects anecdotal stories…
