This character-led observational documentary takes viewers inside the world’s most ambitious scientific experiment, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. In 2016 particle physicists believed they were on the verge of a discovery that could redefine our understanding of the universe. With rare access to CERN at this pivotal moment this film captures the tension, hope and humour of life at the cutting edge of science. “Wind up particles” illustrate the unseeable and a Peep Show inspired down the lens style creates a direct connection between the scientists and the audience.
