| Description |
 A stunning look at the world's most pressing problems through the eyes of nine Nobel Laureates, "Nobelity" follows filmmaker Turk Pipkin's personal journey to find enlightening answers about the kind of world our children and grandchildren will know. Filmed across the US, and in France, England, India, and Africa, "Nobelity" combines the insights of nine distinguished Nobelists with a first-person view of world problems and the children who are most challenged by them.
The nine laureates featured are Steven Weinberg, Richard E. Smalley, Harold E. Varmus, Jody Williams, Ahmed Zewail, Wangari Maathai, Joseph Rotblat, Amartya Sen and Desmond Tutu. They discuss issues such as hunger, poverty, nuclear disarmament, climate change, African development, education to build understanding between cultures, clean water, global health and health disparities, the ability for one person to make change, and much more.
Content is appropriate for all ages.
