A group of scientists are approaching the final steps of a machine decades in the making: an artificial star that could provide millions of years of clean energy. Are scientists about to crack nuclear fusion, or chasing a delusion?
Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the SXSW Film Festival. Winner of the University of Bergen's Gulluglen Award at the Bergen International Film Festival.
"… More thrilling than any late-90s Keanu Reeves movie." - Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
"The movie illustrates clearly that scientific subjects are not inherently hard to understand, and that the more people who make the effort to engage with such ideas, the more likely they are to materialize." - Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film
