| Summary |
The Cleveland Experiment tells how psychologist Dr Howard Hall, travels from Ohio to Baghdad to visit a School of Sufis. His mission is to assess the Sufi's claim to possess a paranormal ability to heal the wounds inflicted on themselves during their religious ceremonies. Impressed by the authenticity of what he has seen, Dr Hall invites a Sufi to visit Cleveland, to see if he can replicate the piercing practice away from the Middle East in the sterile environment of an American hospital within a scientific medical framework. The Cleveland Experiment examines film from Baghdad, Syria and Cleveland and invites a number of experts from a variety of disciplines to comment on Dr Hall's conclusions that there might be a paranormal effect at work in the Sufi ritual |
