TEILHARD: Visionary Scientist Screening
The Teilhard Story
- A captivating human story (Indiana Jones meets Galileo) about scientific adventure (discovery of Peking Man), religious repression, and a love story, with a seemingly tragic end
- Engages a socio-political issue that swept this country in 1925 and has never gone away – evolution v. religious belief – which today shows up in politics, science education v. Creationism or Intelligent Design, and denial of global warming, among other issues. (Teilhard’s religious suppression in France was concurrent with the Scopes trial in U.S.)
- It has immense post-broadcast potential for interactive web pursuit of science education, the science-religion debate, environmental philosophy, revolution in religion, evolution of consciousness, and transhumanism, among other thematic strands.
- It has cross-over between the 18-35 demographic and the 35+ demographic, both through its content and its audience promotion.
