Charles Darwin's contribution to modern scientific knowledge and man's intellectual progress has been profoundly important. His famous manuscript "On the Origin of Species" revolutionized the course of science, but little is really known about the man and the
context in which he wrote his seminal work. The lives of his children and his marriage hang by a thread in this meticulously researched and scientifically accurate portrait of Darwin's life.

Release coincides with 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of "Origin of Species".

Available for immediate delivery. 1 x 110 minutes or 2 x 52 minutes.

"Next to the Bible no work has been quite as influential, in virtually every aspect of human thought, as The Origin of Species."
