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.
