Featuring beautiful hand-drawn animations and interviews with leading stem cell scientists, this fascinating documentary charts the history and scientific evolution of stem cell research – from the earliest experiments that first revealed stem cells in the body, to leading current scientific and clinical developments. Filmmaker Amy Hardie and scientist Clare Blackburn join forces to explore the realities behind the hopes and fears associated with this research, and we hear from experts in the subject including 2012 Nobel Laureates Shinya Yamanaka and Sir John Gurdon, and Sir Ian Wilmut, creator of Dolly the sheep.
