在这部达尔文纪录片片中,Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and his legacy have achieved sacred-cow iconic status throughout much of the modern world. This short 52-minute video not only illuminates less-well known aspects of the great biologist's life and career, but also serves to return him to a more human dimension. The filmmakers accomplish this through a dozen and a half short, ironic vignettes, all taking place in the great man's office/study; each vignette is introduced with titles in quaint Victorian English.
A revisionist biopic on Charles Darwin, illustrated via 18 tableaux covering details from Darwin's birth, his defining voyage on the HMS Beagle, the publication of his seminal Theory of Evolution and his ultimate death and consequent burial at Westminster Abbey.
