A short documentary film, capturing the mystical and fleeting psychological phenomena known as the flow state and peak experience. These states of mental functioning are accessible through a range of acitivities, but are little understood and rarely researched. Using surfing as the visual medium through which to present the ideas, Without Thought features key interviews from renowned global commentators including Richard Moss, Nick Ford and Andrew Kidman.
For eight days veterans from the USA, newly disabled from severe injuries sustained during the ongoing war in Iraq, experienced an exhilirating 226 mile journey along the Colorado river,navigating the whitewater on motor-powered rafts and inflatable kayaks.
During the trip, each veteran was encouraged to use this experience to help them come to terms with their injuries and look ahead to a new life within a society that now look upon them differently.
This is not a documentary that asks if these veterans should have been sent to war, instead it will focus on the personal consequences that each veteran now faces and how they are being helped to overcome them.
