We live in a time of tension and widespread uncertainty, marked by wars, division, environmental breakdown, deepening inequality. It is also a moment of opportunity and, if embraced, potential renewal.

Throughout history, at such critical moments, visionary figures have emerged. The idea of The Coming One is found within all religions, and many believe we are living in a time when that expectation could be fulfilled.

At The Turning presents the controversial idea that Maitreya, the World Teacher — expected under various names across many spiritual traditions — has in fact returned to the everyday world.

This thought-provoking film highlights areas of global decay and the longing for change, and suggests we are living through transitional times, in which new ways of being could emerge, rooted in social justice and unity.
