FORCE OF NATURE: THE DAVID SUZUKI MOVIE
|
David Suzuki, the iconic Canadian scientist, educator, broadcaster, and activist delivers a last lecture. In Suzuki’s words, the lecture is “a distillation of my life and thoughts, my legacy, what I want to say before I die.” The film interweaves the lecture with scenes from the places and events in Suzuki’s life, creating a biography of ideas forged by the major social, scientific, and cultural events of the past 70 years.
