About:
A revealing profile of the well-known educational television personality turned science advocate.
The doc screened at Nantucket, for which our program notes read:
Everybody’s favorite television scientist takes center stage in this captivating portrait. Bill Nye’s earliest collaborators and those closest to him – as well as the quirky “Science Guy” himself – trace his path from charismatic engineer to world renowned science rock star. Directors David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg present an illuminating profile that showcases both Nye’s wit and wisdom and his increasingly important position as an outspoken voice on climate change.
