Synopsis
This documentary is as inspiring as it is beautiful. Made for the big screen, it's filled with stunning photography and BIG sound, it's a rare documentary.
A Life Illuminated follows pioneering marine biologist Dr. Edith Widder’s lifelong quest to use the language of light to communicate with the most mysterious creatures in the deep sea. Now, she heads off on her greatest journey yet into the deepest depths of our ocean world to understand our biggest questions about bioluminescence and what it can tell us about the future of life on Earth.
Coming to you from the director of the equally lovely recent documentary Fire of Love, it's a must see for lovers of documentary, nature, science and adventure.
