Nobelity
Description
Who should we believe in the debate over global warming? Will there be enough food and energy for a growing world? Can we conquer disease, hunger, poverty and war, or will they conquer us? What can I do to make the world a better place? Nobelity - a stunning look at the world's most pressing problems through the eyes of nine Nobel Laureates - follows filmmaker Turk Pipkin's personal journey to find enlightening answers about the kind of world our children and grandchildren will know. Filmed in the United States, France, England, India, and Africa and featuring Steven Weinberg, Jody Williams, Ahmed Zewail, Rick Smalley, Wangari Maathai, Sir Joseph Rotblat, Dr. Harold Varmus, Desmond Tutu, and Amartya Sen.
