!AITSA is a transcendental film that explores the ancient spiritual knowledge and modern science in the Great Karoo desert of South Africa, where humans seek meaning in the infinite darkness surrounding us all. From the Square Kilometre Array to the Blombos cave, voices ranging from scientists to local clergy and spiritual leaders are heard in this expansive film about existential questions and the many paths towards answers that will always remain slightly out of reach.
