make a nuke?
For this film, we're asking what it would take for Canada to build a nuclear weapon. The question leads through research labs and power stations, into the history and decisions that could change the country.
A world of
questions.
What happens after invention?
How does an idea become something we use every day? We look at the people who build our tools and machines, and what changes once they're out in the world.
Why did things turn out this way?
The present makes more sense when you know what came before it. We revisit old arguments, overlooked inventions and ideas that never caught on.
Bring it
back home.
Behind a discovery or an invention, there are people trying to solve a problem. We want to know what they hoped for, what surprised them and what changed for the rest of us.
FARSOUND explores science and technology through their history, with room for wonder, awkward questions and answers that take a little digging.
