"Behind the Curve" is a documentary about flat Earthers that mainly follows genuine interviews. The film doesn’t shoehorn identity politics or forced representation; its focus is on personalities and beliefs rather than superficial traits. It’s much closer to non-woke storytelling, maintaining narrative integrity by sticking to its subject without ideological detours.

The documentary doesn’t engage in overt attacks on religion, family, masculinity, or traditional morality. It highlights fringe belief but doesn’t frame it through a lens of identity politics or attack cultural foundations; rather, it examines community dynamics. Overall, it remains focused on its unique subculture.

While the film gives flat Earthers a platform to share their views, the documentary’s tone and editing could be seen as aligning with mainstream skepticism. There isn’t strong representation of alternative or dissenting mainstream views; most outside perspectives reinforce the scientific consensus, which could feel like mild ideological monoculture.
