Hot Docs London: Let There Be Light: Director Q&ALet There Be Light looks at the most expensive and complex science experiment ever conducted; an ongoing attempt to build an artificial sun on Earth in a bid to create cheap, clean energy. A fascinating epic exploring the mysteries of fusion energy.
In a race against time, thirty five nations have come together in the French countryside to try and solve the greatest mystery of our time; how to produce an alternative energy source and keep the world turning.
The most complex science experiment ever conducted, ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) brings together some of the world’s greatest minds in an attempt to build an artificial sun here on Earth. If successful, the project could literally save the world but if it fails, it will be the most expensive failure in scientific history.
Overseen by a coalition of some of the wealthiest countries in the world, the project is plagued by conflicting priorities, budget cuts and the opposition of the fossil fuel industry. Following the scientists dedicating their lives to the search for the answer, Let There Be Light is a fascinating epic exploring the science behind our planet’s past, present, and future.
