94 Elements film project
20 June 2012
A new film project has been launched exploring how the chemical elements – from hydrogen to plutonium – affect our lives. Various filmmakers take just one element and then show how that element touches lives – the focus is not the science, but the human stories. However, the organisers also hope to raise awareness of how available resources are used.
To view some of the films that have already been made and contribute to the project, visit their site.
