This film is truly inspirational, because it shows that science can be for everyone to enjoy and appreciate, whatever your background. The views of the night sky and the scenery provide a spectacular background for all the anecdotes and interesting discussions that this film contains. So it is well worth watching!
The film demonstrates that Roger Highfield of the Science Museum in London is right to say that science still needs its heroes and that we should not leave scientific discovery to "vast impersonal forces", as Sir Isiah Berlin would say. The movie shows that it takes individual effort, and hard work by groups of individuals who are living to their full potential, in order to really push further the envelope of scientific progress.
Alison E. Rose, the Director, showed great vision in making this inspiring film about Nick Woolf, Roger Griffin, Donald Lynden-Bell and Wallace Sargent, because although veteran astronomers, their intellects remain as impressive as their list of scientific achievements.
