Abstract:
Inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Daniel J. Boorstin’s best-selling book, THE DISCOVERERS explores our desire to extend the boundaries of knowledge. The film portrays this human passion by juxtaposing historic discoveries with exciting scientific discoveries being made today. Stand alongside Sir Isaac Newton in his lab in England, then travel to the present to observe Dr. Louis Herman working with his very cerebral dolphins in Hawaii. Filmed in locations around the world—from Europe to the southern tip of South America to Alaska’s wilderness—THE DISCOVERERS reveals the passionate spirit of the explorers and scientists who challenge the unknown, hoping to inspire the pursuit of knowledge within each viewer.
