Overview
A documentary tracing Charles Darwin's transformation from theology student to the founder of modern evolutionary biology. Following his voyage aboard the Beagle to the Cape Verde Islands, South America and the Galápagos, it explores the two decades he spent delaying publication of his theory of natural selection, torn between scientific conviction, his reputation, and the faith of his devout wife. Made for the bicentenary of Darwin's birth.
