BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME/BD

Errol Morris (THE FOG OF WAR) turns his camera on one of the most fascinating men in the world: The pioneering astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, afflicted by a debilitating motor neuron disease that has left him without a voice or the use of his limbs. An adroitly crafted tale of personal adversity, professional triumph, and cosmological inquiry, Morriss documentary examines the way the collapse of Hawkings body has been accompanied by the untrammeled broadening of his imagination. Telling the mans incredible story through the voices of his colleagues and loved ones, while making dynamically accessible some of the theories in Hawkings best-selling book of the same name, a BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME is at once as small as a single life and as big as the ever-expanding universe.
