There is no better documentary to watch during election season than Joseph Bronowski’s The Ascent of Man.
I will admit that he talks at a snail’s pace. Do not begrudge him this, he will get to the point. If you think Barak Obama is inspiring, just wait until you hear Bronowski talk about the significance of Arabic mathematician Alhazen and his contributions to perspective. Riveting.
I’m serious.
Don’t begrudge Bronowski.
