Reconvergence is a 2012 documentary film directed by Edward Tyndall featuring the lives and views of four characters: naturalist Eustace Conway, scientist Preston Estep, historian Waite Rawls, and poet Caleb Whitaker.
[1] The film features a wide exploration of their views on history, memory, consciousness, and the changes wrought by technologies.
Conway runs the 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) Turtle Island Preserve near Boone, North Carolina and advocates a back-to-nature way of life.
Rawls is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Museum of the Confederacy, and presents his odyssey to discover the true sound of the infamous rebel yell, which was used by Confederate soldiers in battle.
Whitaker is a poet and beat-generation enthusiast whose journey into the Amazon rainforest in search of psychotropic enlightenment follows in the footsteps of his predecessors William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.
