Director: Christopher Skyes

Length: 50 mins

One of the most notable scientists of the 20th century, Richard Feynman won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for is theory on quantum electrodynamics. In this documentary which was filmed in 1981, Feynman talks about his childhood, the time in Los Alamos and how he managed to win the Nobel Prize. The man who stated that he was not scared to not knowing it all, discusses a variety of topics from the beauty of nature all around to particle physics. A vital point about this documentary is that Feynman explains things that may be difficult for a layman to understand, in simple easy to understand terms. His array of topics that he touches upon ranges from things we already know and how we came to know about them and also what we don't yet know. A must for a science enthusiast, it will instill a pleasure in trying to figure things out.
