What was the thinking of this man, who, in the past century, gave significant impulses to pedagogy, agriculture, medicine, economics, natural science, art and architecture? What is anthroposophy and how does it affect the world today? How justified are the accusations of anti-Semitism and racism?

We visit important stations in Steiner's biography (Lower Austria, Vienna, Weimar, the Goetheanum in Dornach), Waldorf schools in Germany and Africa, and the anthroposophically oriented Sekem Farm in Egypt.

Followers and critics of Rudolf Steiner have their say. A detailed portrait of the most versatile and perhaps most controversial spiritual thinker of the 20th century.
