Break the Science Barrier (DVD) | Richard Dawkins

A documentary about the power and beauty of science.

In this one-hour film, the famed British evolutionary biologist and world-renowned science writer communicates the power and beauty of science through a series of stories and vignettes dealing with a wide variety of topics, including:

• the discovery of the Big Bang,
• junk science in the courtroom,
• magic and deception,
• and how science is the best tool ever devised for understanding how the world works.

The film includes a delightful interview with Douglas Adams (author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and a brilliantly entertaining session with magician Ian Rowland, who reveals how easy it is for any of us to be fooled — by both magic and superstition.
