I really liked Behind the Curve. A crew follows around some flat earthers to see how they got into it and what it’s like living your life believing the Earth is flat. All of them talk about the friendship and comradery of the group more than why they believe the earth is flat. In fact, one of the members explains that if he was given definitive proof the Earth wasn’t flat, he’d still pretend it was because he wouldn’t want to lose his friends.
It really shows how people who hold extreme views often hold them because it gives them a group to be a part of. You’ll never be able to get someone to leave an extremist organization without giving them another group to be a part of.
