Event
SlingShot @ SLIFF
An inspirational character study of Segway inventor Dean Kamen, "SlingShot" documents the life of an indomitable man whose innovative thinking might well offer a solution to the world's water crisis. An eccentric genius with a provocative worldview, Kamen lives in a house with secret passages, a closet full of denim clothes, and a helicopter garage. Although he's chosen to forego parenthood, Kamen nonetheless serves as an inspiration and mentor to future scientists through his First robotics competition. Kamen's inventions, which include home-dialysis technology, are first and foremost intended to help people in need and to ease suffering, and his latest passion -- the SlingShot water-purification system -- holds the promise of obliterating half of human illness on the planet. "SlingShot" follows the development of Kamen's vapor compression distiller from its beginnings through recent successful trials in rural Ghana and beyond.
