Originally released as a motion picture in 1991.
Stephen Hawking.
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, Morris's documentary examines the way the collapse of Hawking's body has been accompanied by the untrammeled broadening of his imagination.
DVD, NTSC, region 1, widescreen (1.85:1) aspect ratio, 5.1 surround.

Good for Hawking Fans submitted by Beth Manuel on June 27, 2014, 12:27pm Morris's documentary examines the way the collapse of Hawking's body has been accompanied by the broadening of his imagination. I appreciated hearing from some of Hawking's family members and college friends to share their insights about his childhood and further development. The DVD wasn't as science-y that way, having more biographical content. It was not a genre a usually watch.
