Stem Cell Universe with Stephen Hawking

Directed by
Runtime
60 min
Documentary

Synopsis

The use of embryonic stem cells has sparked intense debate across religious and political circles. However, the possibility of developing artificial stem cells or discovering highly versatile cells in adults that could replace embryonic cells and eliminate the controversy remains a compelling area of research. Today, the field is on the verge of a new era—one in which it may become possible to treat or cure a wide range of illnesses. Stephen Hawking, who has dedicated his life to exploring the mysteries of the universe, is now intrigued by another kind of universe—the one within the human body, composed of vast and complex cellular systems.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
