In Oliver Sacks: His Own Life, director Ric Burns uses a blend of archival and exclusive footage to illustrate the journey of a man who, until the end, explored and valued the lives of his patients beyond their symptoms.

A remarkable picture of scientific research, this documentary deciphers the unprecedented deployment of global vaccination.

A very educational documentary follows five teams of researchers, in their laboratories but also at home, in China, the United States, Europe and Australia, for fifteen months.

Sean B. Carroll, vice president for science education at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and a professor of biology at the University of Maryland, explains how the chiropractic arguments against vaccines reminded him of arguments against evolution.

Jackson Wild, in collaboration with Day’s Edge Productions and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, is proud to announce the 2021 Jackson Wild Media Lab Fellows. 

This painstakingly thorough 90-minute documentary started following scientists across continents when they first began working on finding a coronavirus vaccine.

In time to come there will inevitably be movies and other dramas about these Covid times, but this was the real deal and all the more engrossing for it.

If you weren’t moved by the human endeavour on display here, the brilliance, yet, unfailingly, the modesty, you must have a brick for a heart. Or be an anti-vaxxer.

There was talk of sequencing, spikes and viral vectors. But all of it was humanised when the film introduced us to the individual scientists.
