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.

This is the extraordinary inside story of the unprecedented quest to develop vaccines to fight Covid-19...

This masterful, mind-boggling film gets up close with the scientists who huddled over computers in their PJs to save millions of lives. The wonder of it!
