Are we alone? (60 min.) -- Is Anybody listening? (60 min.).
Summary:
Is humanity alone in the universe or do other intelligent beings, out among the stars, also speculate about their place in the cosmos? The story of the search for extraterrestrial life is told in this ground-breaking two-part film by Timothy Ferris who combines new discoveries about the origins of life with recent revelations about the nature of the sun's planets to seek possible answers. Part one investigates the origins of life on earth and traces the search for life on other worlds, while part two examines the strategies being employed to communicate with fellow travelers among the stars.
