This movie should be seen by the whole family, especially the kids. Even though kids under 12 might have a few problems understanding some of the "big words" used by the nobel laureates, they will understand enough of it to make it worth while.

The one thing that makes this really diverse group of Nobel prize winners similar is their optimism, even though they all ... Read More

Director Turk Pipkin realizes there are many problems with the world. To find the solutions to those problems, he does not go to politicians or corporations. He instead tries something new, and asks some smart people: Nobel Laureates. He travels the world, and finds surprisingly simple solutions to some of the worlds greatest troubles. After seeing how easy it is to do something that could be so great, you will feel compelled to act.

This is a great film, pure and simple. And it is a great film because of its purity and its simplicity. Director Turk Pipkin relentlessly travels the globe to find answers to the very difficult questions regarding man's survival here on earth. In his travels he interviews nine Nobel Prize winners, some with complex answers to Pipkin's question, and others with a very simple view on our reality. The interviews are quite riveting, combines with superior cinematogrophy, and editing make this film ... Read More
