SlingShot documentary focuses on inventor Dean Kamen (Segway) and his 15-year quest to solve the world's safe water crisis. An eccentric genius with a provocative worldview, Kamen is an inspiration for future scientists. His inventions help people in need and ease suffering. This film is about an indomitable man who just might have enough passion and innovative thinking to create a solution for a crisis affecting billions. His latest passion: the SlingShot water purification system created to obliterate half of human illness on the planet. Kamen reminisces about improving home dialysis technology and choosing to forego parenthood while lamenting he has
only one lifetime for inventing.
