A Brief History of Time
Directed by Errol Morris
A cerebral yet deeply human portrait of Stephen Hawking's intellectual brilliance and personal resilience in the face of progressive paralysis.
This shows physicist Stephen Hawking's life as he deals with the ALS that renders him immobile and unable to speak without the use of a computer. Hawking's friends, family, classmates, and peers are interviewed not only about his theories but the man himself.
